Well… this is post is about what to buy in an actual Norwegian supermarket, not what Americans with Norwegian ancestry might eat on special occasions 🙂 You are unlikely to find lutefisk in a supermarket outside of the couple of weeks prior to Christmas.

Lutefisk is generally only sold in the couple of weeks prior to Christmas.

It’s very common in Norway, especially around holidays. It can be purchased in bakeries but most families makes their own. In America it’s easy to purchase it from Norskie Nook in Wisconsin and other Norwegian bakeries. I serve it with warm butter almost every night, which is probably a bit more often than most Norwegians eat it.

It’s an acquired taste, meaning you have to eat it quite a lot of times for it to be your favourite.
I first had it in UK as a child. My mother loved it. WHERE she got it from I shall never know. I loved it right away , but I understand how maybe everyone doesn’t as it is not what you expect. Think fudge…
