Lutefisk (Norwegian) or lutfisk (Swedish) (pronounced [lʉːtfesk] in Northern and Central Norway, [lʉːtəfɪsk] in Southern Norway, [lʉːtfɪsk] in Sweden and in Finland (Finnish: lipeäkala)) is a traditional dish of some Nordic countries. It is traditionally part of the Swedish julbord.
It is made from aged stockfish (air-dried whitefish) or dried/salted whitefish (klippfisk) and lye (lut). It is gelatinous in texture. Its name literally means "lye fish".
Lutefisk is dried whitefish (normally cod, but ling and burbot is also used) treated with lye. The first step is soaking the stockfish in cold water for five to six days (with the water changed daily). The saturated stockfish is then soaked in an unchanged solution of cold water and lye for an additional two days. The fish swells during this soaking, and its protein content decreases by more than 50 percent, producing a jelly-like consistency.
When this treatment is finished, the fish (saturated with lye) is caustic, with a pH of 11–12. To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet another four to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily) is needed. Eventually, the lutefisk is ready to be cooked.
Brought to us from Norway, Lutefisk is a white fish with a gelatinous texture and smelly odor. Watch our creepy Santa feed the office another bizarre food.

Andrew joins Adam on Man vs Food, and Adam tries Lutefisk for the first time. I love his expression after his first (and only) bite. Priceless. Andrew's description of the Lutefisk is pretty good as well. This was on Man vs Food when it was in Minneapolis, MN
I try to eat some lutefisk from Trinity Lutheran Church's annual Lutefisk and Meatball Supper. I don't do so good. However, the meatballs, potatoes, cole slaw and lefse were quite good.

Lutefisk er en norsk tradisjonsrett fra langt tilbake i tid. Lær mer både om hvordan lutefisken blir til og hvordan du kan tilberede den til et hjemmelaget festmåltid.
Love it or hate it, there's usually humor to be found where lutefisk is served. Join us as we visit the small family-owned store that has sold "over 30,000 pounds" of it - Nelson's store in rural Evansville. Then hear advice (and humor) from the cooks at Alexandria's Calvary Lutheran Church, where over 750 dinners are served each year. Lutefisk - one of many traditions to be experienced in Lakes Country... or not. After all, what are meatballs for?
