Which is nastier?

Hákarl or Lutefisk?

I don't think I'd eat either on a dare.

I have tried Lutefisk....why on EARTH anyone still makes it is beyond me. It was "invented" as a way to preserve fish in the age before....well ANY technology. Its just plain NASTY NASTY NASTY, and we have these things called FREEZERS that do wonders.

My BIL claims he loves it...I call BS but he likes to think of himself as an old Norseman....

isn't lutefisk just salt cured fish? So you soak it in water for a few hours ...?

lutefisk is salted fish and lye, it is, after soaking, the consistency of a giant snot

I have, in the spirit of I will try anything once, had it and I will never do it again.

Hakarl is shark which has rotted, strong ammonia flavor from what I have heard, I have not tried it.

You might want to try surstromming which is fermented herring, and is the Swedish entry in the smelliest thing you can eat. I have only read about it.

Fermented/rotted can be a good thing, it can also be revolting, again I eat a lot of stuff you all won't so me saying revolting should be taken as a warning

I have not found any way to use salted cod and make it palatable. Do love pickled herring, though.
