Nope, but the more traditional-sounding pickled herring is huge here.
- eitland 7y agoIt is here in Norway as well. Lutefisk is mostly a seasonal thing AFAIK : )
- protomyth 7y agoIt is also in certain US states (MN, ND). I was told that is done more in America than it is in Norway these days.
- impalallama 7y agoTraditions are weird like that, the biggest maker of Lutefisk is in Minnesota I believe.
- Symbiote 7y agoA very small disappointment when moving to Denmark was the reduced sild selection compared to Sweden, which I had visited a lot before I moved. I expected to see 10 types in every supermarket, as in Sweden¹. Instead, it's curry (!), dill, plain, and (if I'm very lucky) my favourite, mustard. I've been known to stock up on the more extravagant flavours in Malmø. Skärgårds (skerry? archipelago?) and ramslök (ramson) are the best. ¹ https://www.abba.se/produkter/sill/ https://www.abba.se/produkter/sill/ — 17 types!
- simongray 7y agoYeah, Danish groceries really can't compete with Sweden's superior selection. I think it's better than it used to be as the grocery store duopoly is under siege by Norwegian and German chains.
