Smoked mackerel spread is so good. Caught it. Smoked it. Mashed it together with cream cheese, sour cream, green onion, parsley, and seasoning. Put it in my belly.

Have a student from Digby. Made sure he was aware that he was looking at one of the Baddeck fellars who came into the Raven's nest to win the provincial championship in 2001.
