Best Smoked Fish Dip In South Florida

Living in South Florida, you expect the seafood to be fresh. A favorite treat, if you haven't tried it, is smoked fish dip. Usually it's made a smoked fish, either white fish or some other light tasting fish, combined with seasoning, Old Bay and either mayonnaise or cream cheese or both. The right combination is the "food of the gods", but since it's smoked fish dip maybe we should say it is the food of the god Neptune.
