What is lutefisk?

Never tasted it untill I was 40. But now I'm a great afn. Most grown up Norwegians have it at least once around XMas. The good thing about it is you cover the whole thing with bacon bits and bacon fat, potatoes, mustrad and pea stew ... and most imortant, have Aquavit (Strong Snaps) and XMas beer with it.
You will have completely forgotten about the jelly fish by then.

I worked in a Wisconsin Supper Club and in the winter they served "all you can eat Lutefisk." People ate pounds of it!! I honestly don't remember a bad smell. They ordered it in huge barrels and it wasn't stinky!

haha...I love the Luefisk Queen! :-)

I smelled this once. That smell will haunt me forever. I LOVE fish but i could never eat this...ever....but then again i'd never eat anything intentionally soaked in poison...

As a Swed/Norwegian lutefisk and rakfisk are candies if  compared to an Icelandic Hákarl now that is a stinky fish lol

Ohhh my God... that looks deliciously horrifying.

Lutefisk should be eaten with stewed peas, diced bacon and boiled (not mashed) potatoes.

To prevent it from becoming too watery, one should definitely not boil it in water, but cook it in an oven with quite a lot of salt to extract the water. And some pepper to enhance the flavour.

Most Norwegians don't like lutefisk, but those who do are devoted. I need to have it at least once during Christmas, but I am the only one in my family who likes it.

I want to trrrrryyy!!!

As a Swede- I can't live without this stuff! It's like Tequila: You either love it, or you never wanna hear anyone mention it ever again! I'm the same too! No one in my family can stand it other than the men. We just have our women-folk cook it! : )
Good advice on the cooking: I'll have to try that next time.

Dig down your lutefisk and you're rid of all the moles and animals in your garden! ;) Hehe
