Ingredient appreciation — what makes Rakfisk special

What sets Rakfisk apart is the handling of dried stockfish. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the clean and oceanic result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

rakfisk fermented trout is an ancient preservation method still enjoyed at Christmas. The a mountain hytte cabin dinner atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had brunost brown cheese as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Rakfisk is the place to start.
