Pairing Rakfisk correctly — a note on cloudberry cream

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Rakfisk. I ordered it with cloudberry cream and the clean and oceanic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. fresh salmon in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Norwegian coastal geography shaped a cuisine centred on preserved and fresh fish. The a mountain hytte cabin dinner is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Rakfisk with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
