Swedish producers of fermented fish are angry. Shops have already started selling the fermeted fish before the official premiere. The famous Swedish fermeted fish, in Sweden it's called Surströmming, is supposed to be available to the Swedish fermeted fish lovers on the third thursday of the month August.
But shops are already selling it to be able to cash in on this once a year festivity. Not only do they ruin the excitement of the premiere producers think but also there is a quality problem as the cans are supposed to be left the last few days to finish of the fermentation process so that the fish is really rotten by the time we eat it!
So have you tried it? I have and I'm actually happy to leave it in the can until it explode... ok, so it might be fun to try it once but a delicacy? Not as far as I'm concerned. The snaps, maybe a glas of Absolut is better and really necessary to wash down the surströmming.
