SMOKED WHITEFISH SALAD WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND CAPERS
Whitefish salad is a necessity at traditional Jewish "appetizing" stores like Barney Greengrass and Russ & Daughters, which traditionally stock smoked and pickled fish, cheese, bagels and bialys, halvah and other small luxuries. According to strict kosher law, meat and dairy cannot be made in the same kitchen: Jewish butchers and delis traditionally supplied the meat, while appetizing stores sold dairy products. Fish can be paired with either. That's why you'll never see a Reuben sandwich at a truly authentic Jewish deli. Theo Peck, the owner of Peck's, a cafe in Brooklyn, is a trained chef and a descendant of the family that owned Ratner's, a famous Jewish restaurant on the Lower East Side. His version replaces mayonnaise with crème fraîche, and adds bright notes of capers and fresh herbs.

SMOKED WHITEFISH DIP
When I was living in New Jersey, I would frequent the Jewish delis in New York City and I always had to order the whitefish dip. Now that I've moved back down south, I wanted to create my own version of the delicious dip. You can find smoked whole whitefish or fillets in the seafood department of most grocery stores.

SMOKED WHITEFISH SALAD
A staple at Jewish delis across the country, smoked whitefish salad is as appealing at breakfast time as it is at cocktail hour. If you don't have access to whitefish, feel free to substitute salmon, sable, or steelhead trout.

Steps:
- Prepare the brine: Combine the salt, brown sugar, water, and vodka, if using, in a large shallow container such as a roasting pan. Add the whole gutted skin on whitefish, then cover and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours. (If desired, keep the fish submerged in the brine by topping it with resealable bags of ice.).
- Remove the fish from the brine and rinse thoroughly, inside and out, under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. (Discard the brine.).
- When ready to cook, start your smoker and establish the lowest heat you can. (about 180 degrees.) Place the fish on the grill grate. Tuck 2 or 3 balls of foil in the cavity so the interior gets more exposure to the smoke. Smoke the fish for 3 to 4 hours, or until it flakes easily when pressed with a fork and has an internal temperature of 150 degrees F.
- Let cool, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Make the salad: Remove the skin and break the fish into flakes; remove any pin bones you find. (There are a lot of them!) Add the celery, red onion, lemon juice, dill, mayonnaise, sour cream, and pepper. Stir gently with a rubber spatula to combine.
- To serve, mound the salad into leaves of lettuce or radicchio, if desired, and accompany with bagels or bagel chips, crackers, or cocktail breads. Garnish with sprigs of fresh dill.
