Norwegian, here. Lutefisk is incredible if done right, but it's easy to fuck up severely. So if someone were to try and cook something based on my recommendation, I'd suggest Fårikål or Pinnekjøtt instead, as they're both incredibly easy to make and quite tasty.
Visited my norwegian family over the new year, and got to try pinnekjøtt. Very tasty, if a bit annoying to get the meat off of the bones.
In my opinion, that means it's not done yet. Since it's mostly a steaming process, you can leave it in as long as you want to. I usually put it on in the morning, and just add a little water in the kettle throughout the day to make sure it does not dry out. Then 20 minutes in the oven before serving.
That way it usually falls off the bone easily.
Yeah, i was slightly overexaggerating c: 90% of the meat fell off easily, but for those last 10% you had to really go caveman for. Luckily me and my family usually clean the bones whilst eating so i didnt stand out.
Now I'm curious to try "good" lutefisk. I grew up hearing about how exceptionally awful it is.
Same. Didn't try it until I was in my 30's and it was kinda meh at best.. until I tried a well made one later.
The difference between "meh" and "great" is in the quality. The difference between those and "get it away from me" is definitely in the eater.
My ex's mum would make this at Christmas and it was horrifying.
