About this

Surströmming

Surströmming is a traditional Swedish delicacy consisting of fermented Baltic Sea herring, preserved through a process of salting and anaerobic fermentation that dates back centuries. Known for its notoriously pungent odor—often described as one of the world's smelliest foods—it's typically enjoyed in late summer during "surströmmingspremiär," where the cans are opened underwater to contain the smell, and the fish is served with boiled potatoes, raw onions, sour cream, and crisp flatbread, paired with snaps or beer for a unique cultural experience.
