The lutefisk dinners are here! Time to head to Van Nuys for traditional fish, meatballs, aquavit

With an unofficial slogan of Take the Risk, Try Lutefisk, it's a pretty safe assumption that dining on lutefisk is not your average meal. That's what's printed on the aprons at Sons of Norway, Norrona Lodge No. 50 in Van Nuys, and you can kind of see why.

A traditional Scandinavian dish of lye-treated whitefish, lutefisk is found most places where there's a decent-sized Scandinavian population, and it's part of the seasonal table: Thanksgiving to Christmas is considered lutefisk season.

Lucky for you, the dish is also available once a year at a lutefisk and meatball community dinner at the Sons of Norway lodge's Norrona chapter, where it's been dished up since the mid-1940s. One member has attended the dinners since 1951.

I wonder if there is research on the safety of eating lye.

Ever had hominy?

I am from Minnesota and Lutefisk is a dish I have not ever or will ever try.

FTA: A traditional Scandinavian dish of lye-treated whitefish
....making sure the fish don’t dissolve from overcooking...

Nope, but I spose the stuff gets around. If you keep your liver healthy (search) it’s amazing what junk you can eat, in the short term.
