Pairing Klippfisk correctly — a note on Norwegian lager

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Klippfisk. I ordered it with Norwegian lager and the clean and oceanic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried stockfish in particular became more prominent in a good way.

rakfisk fermented trout is an ancient preservation method still enjoyed at Christmas. The a Bergen fish market lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Klippfisk with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
