In reply to Jan. You can also serve Lutefisk with melted butter and bacon. It is very good.

In reply to David Nikel. Lutefisk is dried cod, ling or tusk that has been soaked in a lye solution, then in water. Boiled and served with a white sauce, peas and steamed potatoes. Eaten in Norway and Sweden.

My mother & I are at odds. What is real Norwegian lutefisk? I had some dried fish labelled “lutefisk” while staying at the Thon Hotel Rosenkrantz. Mom remembers her mother enjoying codfish preserved in lye…a sort of gray fish jelly.
But she never witnessed this.
My father’s mother used to make it with lye for his Norwegian dad, and my dad would have to leave the house because of the smell.

I need some answers! Can lutefisk be more than one thing?
