Video

i dont know how i got here... but cheers for the lesson :) good video

If it is a healthy food ,i am good with it 😋

Thanks

Ever tried comedy?

isn't stockholm in sweden? did the fish give you a syndrome?

Yes or No question. For someone who never tried it, Is it worth having it on the menu?

Haggis is nice

omg, why?!?!?!?!?!

Big Ball

I would have expected in this day and age that machines would remove the entrails...are the entrails important to the fermentation? Can one eat the entrails?

Very nice video. I am now curious to try surstromming...I could see how it might taste ok with potatoes, onions, yogourt and bread......I might be tempted to use sour cream...

So what is the real appeal of this food?

This is the most swedish video I have ever seen

21 век. А они доскам молятся. Дикари😂😂😂😂

Lol. You apparently have to be very very careful!!

Finally you took a bite, and yes, it helps to know how it should be eaten! :) No ketchup!

Yum it looks amazing!!!

Tried this for the first time a week ago. Did like you said, opened it under water. Ate it with flat bread and onions and sour cream. It was delicious

reminds me of trevor

Its odd to see that they use the big ones. Usually you only want the smaller ones so that you can easily eat bones and everything else except the entrails. Like that's almost sill(herring) already and not strömming(Baltic herring). For those that don't know there is a huge difference in the fish even if its the same fish when conserving it or preparing it, like over here in Finland we throw back the big ones or use em as bait fish.

You have to love Little House to get this! 🙏

Looks good

Over here lookin like Quentin Tarantino lol

what special potato ?

I never tried Surströmming but it honestly doesnt look that bad. As a kid i used to eat all kinds of fish that were bitter beyond imaginable so i feel like i kinda know what to expect if i were to eat it

What about 'why' to eat Surstromming?

🙃

the fly on the potatoes tells the whole story...lol jk- great explanation- from germany.

very cool

It felt like parody till the last moment when he took a bite. I don't know what I was expecting.

WHY? JUST WHY GO THROUGH THIS...

Hey guys, that seems not so bad

Too complicated. I eat it with skin with hands.

jokes aside, this was an interesting watch rofl

Very academic approach of this explanation video. Thank you very much!

So this is the 1st video I have seen where the person attempting to eat this not only did not regurgitate it, but seemed to actually kind of enjoy it. I love Stinking Bishop cheese which makes Limburger cheese seem mild and not potent, and I have had preserved 100 year old duck egg, & fermented bean curd and fermented pork. I also enjoy a good blue cheese. All of these have intense flavors, and many of them are the 'Top of the Do Not Like This Food 'list with my friends. Thx for making this sound more appetizing. With that said, I would not enjoy the texture of this fish, and if it were a different texture, I may try it. Is there anything like this in a Jerky form?

Some of the cans that I’ve seen when they open them there’s nothing solid it’s just a big mush

jesus he's like 6'6

The fact that people are willing go through that much trouble for a few bites should tell you that it's not so bad. 😊

personally I'll stick to ikea meatballs

Car auto 🤑R

💯💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

really well made video! I love your attitude and honesty! you seem like a very smart and articulate man! thanks for sharing your culture with us

I have to say the other videos I've seen of people with these, the can is all sorts of puffed up so no wonder it smells bad, also the fish werent fish anymore, more like fish liquid

Well done - excellent presentation, thank you for the understanding I now have. I've just finished laughing myself silly at the other videos to the point I couldn't breathe! 🤣😂🤣 Your presentation here surprised me as I wouldn't have had any clue of the correct way to eat it. Not that I intend trying it any time soon but at least I know it makes some sort of sense now. Thanks - from a Vegemite lover in Sydney Australia. (P.S. best way to eat Vegemite for a newcomer is to spread it thin on buttered bread as a sandwich and develop a taste for it. It is very salty so start thin and work up on the thickness over time as you like. Having too much too soon will turn you off it. We were all brought up on it so we know no limits with the stuff. Worth a try, the right way!)

I love how this man says "backbone" lol it's so enunciated and determined

I think also just the idea that you're eating "rotted fish" already is a big turn-off for some people. I mean, I am Dutch, we also have slightly ripened herring (soused herring, although I don't think its really fermented, as its just brined for a few days) and some people are already weirded out by that. Although the Dutch herring is probably a lot milder that this one and is perfectly fine to eat on its own with just some chopped onions. :)

TL;DR: Bad smell, but nothing like in most videos where people gag and throw up. Taste is okay. I am from Russia. I've heard and watched enough about Surströmming over years to become curious, so finally I ordered it. Got myself a nice 440 gram can of Oskars Surströmmingc fillets. The price is insane for a can of fish - $50 (4200 Rubles), but manageable for a one-time treat. Long story short, I did everything as you showed, and indeed it's not so bad. It smells like farts, but the smell isn't that strong, frankly, not even close to gag-inducing. The taste is interesting for sure, and not even bad, just unusual. Besides smell, the only real issue is the amount of salt. It's so salty that I will double the amounts of other "sandwich" ingredients next time. Conclusion: all the drama around it is pretty much bullshit.

Cheers man, going to use your advice next time I'm on an overnight flight and get hungry.

It really isnt that bad but there is also zero reason to produce or eat it nowadays
