Notes

When flaking the mackerel, try to keep some larger pieces for a more robust texture, rather than mashing it too finely. This helps retain that lovely mouthfeel.
Mix gently to combine the ingredients; overmixing can break down the crème fraîche and make the mixture too loose. You want to maintain a fluffy, integrated consistency.
