Im sorry mister, being a norwegian fisherman, what u got there is no Lutefisk.

The fish is to be in normal pieces, not in almost like an lapskaus or mash.

And if u serve it the norwegian way u serve it with bacon and mashed peas.

Try again and post anotherone, because this is just pissing on the norwegian gastronomical heritage.

well, this is how my dad makes it-and he calls it lutefisk. maybe it's the norwegian-american version.

My Grandpa came from Norway and they'd make it with butter. Maybe times changed, we never had it with peas and bacon. Does it really matter anyway?

@mendhibeagle Maybe the Norwegian - American way to eat it?! There are just one way to make it, And that is the Norwegian way. Because just then it will be as it was ment to be! and it`s great! and u serve whit alot of bacon, mashed peas, potatos, and bacon fat. And u just have to have aqueitve. :)

It's salt fish - salted and dried cod. Needs hydrating and de-salting. Normally comes in a block.

To lute fisk is a long process. First we dry fish out door for a half year. Then we lay the fish in lut for I don`t know how long. A short week? Lut is caustic soda and water. We boil lutefisk in quite salt water. More salt than sea water. We boil for 15 minutes. Serve with potato, stued green pies, bacon+fats, cyrup or goat cheese + aquevit or dark beer.

Believe it or not, Sweden imports more Lutefisk from Minnesota than they make and sell themselves. Perhaps that is just Sweden though. My 'fars's side laughs, my mothers side crys.
