Fermented trout and cold water shrimps

Postby Norway Joe » Fri Jan 11, 2019 4:24 pm

Great dinner tonight.

Fermented trout served in lefse with red onions and sour cream. We use trout fermented for 1 year in salt brine. We call it rakfisk.

Had also som Coldwater shrimps served on a slice of loaf with butter. Topped with a dressing consisting of 50/50 mayo and sour cream seasoned with garlic, lemon juice and dill.

Absolutely delicious.

For those of you that wonder what rakfisk is. Here is an explanation:

It ain't Texas for sure.

Coldwater shrimps, these are cought close to Greenland in the cold ocean. They are not as big as the ones you have in the Gulf, I think Size varies but good size is 40-50 per kilo. Cheaper are in size 80-90. Obviously more shrimps to peel to fill youup.

In the summer it's very popular to go to the dock in the harbour downtown. Find a spot and sit there eating fresh shrimps out of a paperbag. We can buy the shrimps directly from the boat but those shrimps are from the local waters.

For the fish I can't explain it. The link in my post does. Many people make the fish themselves. Catching the Trout in the mountains and make the rakfisk.


The rest on the table is various types of cheese. (Mostly for my kids. They are not so fond of shrimps and absolutely not the rakfisk).

How'd I miss this one? I'm into the funky stuff and this is certainly it! Sounds familiar. I've seen an Asian recipe similar.
I'd try it out!

You can make it yourself. Many people here ferment the fish at home. They use trout caught in the rivers or lakes. It's absolute imperative to be meticulous with hygiene and the fish must not have been on the ground. The risk is botulism. A few people get botulism each autumn when it's time to test the fish. The fish is so soft that you can spread it like butter and when you open the fermentation bucket the smell is very strong.
