I guess the aquavit is necessary to get the lutefisk down?

Oddly enough, it's easier to get lutefisk in communities here in the US with Scandinavian populations that in Scandinavia itself.

They're not so broke anymore that they have to eat fish preserved with lye, it's mostly served here on a dare...

Lutefisk with spuds, peas and a white sauce isn’t bad unless it’s been cooked into jelly. Slightly bitter finish but pretty bland otherwise, in my experience.

I went to Jr High in Van Nuys in the 60’s. Never had this fish.

Many, many years ago, I went to a (Lutheran) church supper as the guest of an elderly neighbor whose own grandchildren could not attend. Not having any previous experience with the Swedish cuisine this particular congregation favored, I walked into that big old room woefully unprepared for what I found.

The kringle was good; the lefse was palatable; the lutefisk was...
"regrettable" (H/T to James Lileks).

All in all, I considered it to be a weird experience with bad food as the central theme. Fifty years later, I remain firm in that opinion.

Lutefisk smells like catfood and Drano.
