Whitefish salad is a salad of smoked freshwater whitefish and mayonnaise. Whitefish salad is a staple fare of Ashkenazi Jewish American cuisine, often found at appetizing stores and Jewish delicatessens.[1][2] Common ingredients that can be added to whitefish salad include dill, lemon juice, capers, celery, chives, green peppers, vinegar, hard-boiled egg, and mustard.[citation needed] The mayonnaise can be substituted with sour cream, lebneh, or crème fraîche. Whitefish is often served on a bagel.
Whitefish salad is commonly served for Yom Kippur break fast and Hanukkah, as well as for sitting shivas, bar/bat mitzvahs, and other gatherings.[3][4] Tablet Magazine founder Alana Newhouse included whitefish salad in her book "The 100 Most Jewish Foods."[5] Food critic Mimi Sheraton recommends whitefish salad as a topping for toast or dark pumpernickel.
