Lutefisk is a bipolar food. You either love it or you hate it.
Years ago I went to a Lutefisk dinner at a church with a lot of Norwegian Lutheran members. They also had an alternative main course meat that was preferred by many (but not all) non-Norwegians married to Norwegian spouses.
A lot of Lutheran churches in the Midwest have lutefisk dinner fundraisers. Ham balls or beef meatballs are almost always available as an alternative.
