Finally, a video that shows someone eating it the correct way (small pieces with some potatoes, or crackers, or other stuff). Eating a bunch straight out of the can is like drinking hot sauce out of the bottle and saying it's bad because it's too strong!

[@bazingapuzza]

Expect the hot sauce is a sauce which is not meant to be drink ( but like the name suggest to use it like a sauce ). Meanwhile this rotten fish is a type of food, if you need to eat with with something else to cover the taste because is very bad than is stupid.

[@readein]

If a food has to be covered up in order to be enjoyed then I don't see the point. Hot sauce is an additive to food so I don't think that's a fair comparison. Now if you're saying surstromming is a condiment then I'd be inclined to agree. As a food however....I don't see the point. Especially since half the swedish people in this video hated it. A delicacy doesn't have to be delicious to be respected.

[@Carmen-qt7lx]

Hot sauce doesn't stink. You can taste it. How can you eat that fish?

[@gamingmusicmishaps]

You guys are dumb and clearly misunderstood the comment. There are people who find our condiments repulsive (I find ketchup gross) and like this stuff. Just because it's not what you like doesn't mean everyone hates it (I find it gross, but I don't call them gross because of it).

[@gamingmusicmishaps]

@@readein I can see how it's a fair comparison. Some of our condiments taste disgusting by themselves, and so does this fish. And there are a lot of people in your country who hate the food in your country, so half of the sweetish people hating it is like saying half of Americans hate olives.

[@Ruktiet]

Whenever your eat meat, it’s hung and started fermenting for a few days at least. If you eat authentic sausage, it’s fermented, if you eat fish sauce, it’s completely controlled “rotten” seafood juice. So many things are fermented or cured. Some favor micro-organisms which produce foul-smelling gases, others don’t.

I believe the taste would be much better if you fry it with onion, chili and potato. Once done, eat with rice or bread and put some soya sauce a little. It should be better. We call it pekasan in our country. Its also fermented, but we fry before we serve them.

But that is way too much. I m fisherman myself and once i was fishing and i caught fish that took hook down in stomach and it died and i forgot it in my backpack for few days.

You have brought the table outside as the evening slowly starts to color the sky golden orange. On the table you can find freshly baked and buttered almond potatoes. Swedish flatbread, sliced summer onions, creme fraiche, grilled sausages among many other things fill the table as you hear your friends arrive to enjoy the dinner and the amazing weather with you. You ceremonially crack open the surströmming as everybody cheers. Ice cold vodka takes the edge off as happy banter among friends fills the air. The sauna is ready and the lake is calm. Its summer.
