Dried Codfish in potash lye - The famous Norwegian Lutefisk
As christmas time approaches, Lutefisk is to be found on most menues in restaurants around the country. The Lutefisk is also sold in most grocery stores with a fresh seafood department.
How to make your own Lutefisk
To start you first have to decide how big a portion of stockfish you want to soak, or rather how much Lutefisk you want to make. As a rule, 125 grams of stockfish are the equivalent of 1 kg of soaked fish. A lutefisk lover is likely to consume at least a kilo of lutefisk, which means you should allow a minimum of 125 grams of stockfish per person.
