 From: Bill Birner

 Any number of smoked fish can be used in this simple recipe. Instead of a
 large serving bowl, you can also chill it in small individual bowls or
 ramekins for an elegant first course, with thinly sliced French or black
 bread.

 Flake the tuna or mackerel and combine it with the cream cheese, mayonnaise
 and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until smooth and season to
 taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and fold
 in the red onion. Cover and chill the pate until ready to serve.
