Lutefisk is the Norwegian spelling; lutfisk, the Swedish.

There's a shop in my neighborhood (Nordic House, 2709 San Pablo Avenue [at Pardee], Berkeley, CA) which sells Scandinavian foods and gifts.

Of course, they have lutefisk.

Way back in the olden times before the x-ray people arrived and came to dominate all art the public school systems in Central Indiana regularly served reconstituted fish on Fridays.

We had no word for it beyond "fish", the Danish pigfarmers (a quite large part of the local population) made sure that everybody used ONLY ENGLISH.

I finally found out what it was one day at the Safeway when I noticed a bag of frozen lutefisk marked that it was packed in Minneapolis. It was the same stuff the school cafeterias always used.
