    Flatbread with butter, potatoes, small pieces of fermented herring, spread over the flatbread with chopped red onion, sour cream or light crème fraiche. Make a squeeze or roll of it and eat it and we eat it in Sweden with beer and flavored spirits, some tips are Skåne's Acvavit, Halland's Elderflower or Gameldags' Norrlands Acvavit. There were some flavored spirits from Sweden that we usually have with it.

    As a 53 year old Swede I can state that there is in no way a whole country that appreciates this, only old mad people like my dad. 😂

      I love Surströmming, tho the fish in that can looked abit rancid (It´s normally looking better I mean).

    Just to let you know - I might be a Dane - however I know A LOT of Swedish people - and FAR from everyone enjoys this! If you want a much more "mainstream" version of this - try "pickled herring" with onion and mayo/currysalad... especially if you get some snaps or spiced spirits with it and a beer. In fact many of us eat that around Xmas time and I know here in Denmark it's not a real "Xmas party" if it doesn't have at least 3 different types of pickled herring (breaded, Fried and pickled is my personal favorite).... Surströmming however is a much more polarizing version - and most people would never chose to eat it unless it's a "challenge" or something! The only way I eat it willingly is if it's applied much more as a condiment than a main ingredient - so a TINY amount!

      This is where I thought they were going when they said they were gonna do it the "proper" way. Though I'm more familiar with onion and pickle along with the pickled herring which is the Dutch way so I'm told.

    Have to do this myself. I consider myself a guy that can eat anything and so far there has not been a food that proves me wrong. Gonna go solo-camping in forest and bring this with me (costs a nice buck here in Latvia). Probably won't have with boiled, but campfire baked potatoes, but should be fun experience. And I am totally bringing sour-cream (Andy is onto something). 🔥

    My Swedish husband would never in a million years eat it, so I don’t know how many Swedes do eat it. I know there are those that love it, but it’s not mainstream for sure.❤️ nice of you to try.

  • @sorv5790
    @sorv5790 7 місяців тому +4

    Whereas everything about surströmming is the aroma that is the killer, in lutefisk it is the texture for me. It's like fish jello. I can't do it and I love fish! So much for that bit of Norge blood in me.😂

  • @thomasijontichy5651
    @thomasijontichy5651 7 місяців тому

    Like... you need to understand this: The more the can bulges, the older the fish and the stronger (most would say "more terrible") the taste. You can see the can you opened, the fish had started to disintegrate badly. Do the baby step way and get a fresh can (yes, I know it's not "fresh," but "just released" - the surströmming season starts the third thursday of August.) Also, don't get the whole fish, get the filet can.
    You need to counteract/balance the taste with chopped red onions and other condiments, eating it like that with just a potato on a cracker, of course you'll hate it. And yeah you _do_ need the sour cream, but if Brian really can't take it, go with some potato salad. If you really want to, I could send you a fresh can in August along with detailed instructions.

    Hey dude from norway here next time try Rakfisk it is similar in taste as surstøming and eaten with sourcream and onions and flat bread way milder aroma so you can actualy enjoy the flavor only downside is that you can only get it around x.mas unless you make it yourself

  • @MrJH-77
    @MrJH-77 7 місяців тому +20

    Guys your still doing it wrong. You need boiled potatoes, chopped onion, flatbread (similar to wheat tortilla), sour cream, butter and dill. Gut the fish, slice potato and mix with the rest on the flatbread.
