Surströmming has been part of northern Swedish cuisine since at least the 16th century.
Surstromming is Made in Sweden only!
The fish is often eaten with tunnbröd, a thin, either soft or crispy bread (not to be confused with crispbread).
The use of tunnbröd originated in the High Coast area, where the tradition is to make a sandwich (known as a surströmmingsklämma) using two pieces of buttered hard tunnbröd.
In addition to the fish, the two most common toppings are potatoes (either sliced or mashed, often almond potatoes) and finely diced onion.
The fish is also commonly eaten without bread together with the accompanying ingredients. To balance the strong flavor of the fish, Västerbotten cheese is sometimes added.
In the southern part of Sweden, it is customary to use a variety of condiments such as diced onion, gräddfil (fat fermented milk/sour cream similar to Smetana) or crème fraîche, chives, and sometimes even tomato and chopped dill.
Surströmming is commonly served with snaps, light beers like pilsner or lager, svagdricka (a type of small beer), water, or cold milk. What to drink with surströmming is disputed among connoisseurs.
Surströmming is usually served as the focus of a traditional festivity called a surströmmingsskiva.
Store the jar in the refrigerator, if possible until the minute before opening. Hold the jar firmly with a napkin or towel. To avoid the law being pushed out due to the pressure in the can, angle it 45 degrees and puncture the upper edge with a can opener. Then place the jar on a plate and open it calmly. Serve and enjoy! It must be acknowledged that the aroma and taste of sour herring is distinctive, but with an open mind and taste buds in full readiness, it is easy to become a sour herring enthusiast. Here are some tips for you who are not so used to it. Buy a jar of fillets. They are not as sharp in aroma and taste as whole fish. Make a clamp with many accessories. Use the sour herring as a spice. Use accessories that you like e.g. sour cream, tomato, butter and dill. Do you want to experience a real taste experience? Season the sour herring with apple compote or red onion jam.
