So, what is lutefisk?
Lutefisk is a traditional Nordic delicacy that consists of whitefish, typically cod, that has been soaked in lye for several days to create a gelatinous texture. The fish is then rinsed, boiled, and served with butter, boiled potatoes, and sometimes green peas. Lutefisk has a distinct aroma that some find unpleasant, but it is a beloved dish in Scandinavian countries, particularly during the holiday season. Its unique preparation and cultural significance make lutefisk a must-try for adventurous foodies looking to explore traditional Nordic cuisine.
