- Here is an instructive video on how you are supposed to eat Surströmming (Fermented Baltic herring) without being appalled by the smell.
By the way, if you find a female fish you can eat the roe (and it is good)
I've seen bombs disarmed with less care.
If not done right im sure this can end up really "explosive" 😃😃😃
Vad i 've seen talks for itself !
LMAO!!!!!
Jayyy Zeee
Now that's funny, I don't care who you are....😆
This comment is the best
Love the amount of time and effort spent eating this small portion of food he describes as "not that bad"
stubborn is what you call it
@@71dembonesTV I had the same reaction -- seems like a tremendous effort for something that's "not that bad" if you "do it the right way".
@@BobZambarano the fact that he's standing way away from his house, holding it in a bucket of water, and not wearing shoes (for fear of them being irreparably permeated with rancid fish juice) does not convince me of it being "not so bad" lol
@@71dembonesTV lmaooo
basically was prolonging the actual eating as long as possible and finished vid midway through the tasting...
This is what CZcams should be all about. Just a simple video by a person at home with a camera explaining random things for the benefit of others

When you randomly stumble upon your old math teacher doing a tutorial on eating fish on youtube
I've had many students over the years so I am afarid you have to tell me when I taught you.

Well, dutch are one of the tallest in the world
Last I checked Swedes were the 3rd tallest people in the world. I think the Dutch are the tallest.
Christopher Robin 😂
This is hilarious.. I have Swedish friends, and what this man does in his tutorial is typically so Swedish.
"It's not so bad if you take precautions, don't inhale through nose and hide it into a flatbread, onion and condiments."
I am laughing aloud while I watch this because this is what I love about swedes.. nothing brings them down. They can eat a pile of shite and not only endure it with great stoicism but make it an enviable experience.
My respect, dear Nordic neighbours, you are great people.
Each to their own but I do not even like meat that is aged too much, I find this absolutely disgusting beyond belief, but you are correct the Swedes are a unique bunch very tough indeed, I was in Turkey and they were jumping off a cliffe I was like no way but the Swedes were up there first.
Thank you. We do enjoy a fair bit of "detached masochism", as is the custom when you live so far north you have to gaslight yourself into thinking, "Seasonal Affective Disorder just ain't that bad". Every day is a cold plunge to get dopamine levels back on track.
What a pile of crap...so u adore them for denying the reality basically, lol. Crap is crap, no matter howany condiments you cover it with...and that's what swedes do,. they're not only denying stuff, they're also denying their denial. So they're in denial of denial lol

Eating something that you need to open 40 feet from where you eat it is hardcore.
What is that in real unit?
@@Tonysmithmusic Just do it in the kitchen in batches. Open as many cans as you're gonna eat underwater in a sink, then remove the guts and bones with hand using gloves, then put the fishes in a bowl and bring it to table. Takes a lot less time than this.

I had the pleasure of trying this with wonderful people in Stockholm. I was told that it tastes like life itself. After finishing I agreed with the sentiment in that life can be difficult!😂
Lol
People might overlook one of the core reasons why this may look a bit dreadful. He purchased Surströmming fermented in whole. If this was a can of filets, it would be over in 3 minutes. You get the can, go outside in the backyard with a bucket of water. Open the can underwater (I prefer to open it the entire way under water, not just pierce it, it's fine as long as you don't aim to store leftovers, in which case you should store prepared sandwiches, not a can if are smart). And simply take the filets out and put them in your sour cream/potato sandwich.
This guy is a pro at dragging out and making it 10 minutes lmao
Or, OR, better idea - just eat something else?
@@karlhendrikseYeah I don't know if people know this but you can just run to McDonald's or whatever, it's super easy to not eat rotten fish 😂
@@LangstonDev It's not rotten, just fermented. Fermented cabbage for example is fairly popular in multiple culinary branches and doesn't make you projectile vomit from just the smell.
@@karlhendrikse for people who are used to eating it, it likely tastes different to them than it does to us because they've acquired a taste for it, and probably has a unique flavor to them that cannot be replicated by anything else. Surströmming is one of the most extreme examples of this, but its the same phenomena that occurs with beer, salmakki, haggis, vegemite, marmite, natto, etc.
CZcams's algorithms must have gone insane. I have no idea how it decided I wanted to watch some random Swedish guy on his small channel provide matter-of-fact instructions on eating surströmming correctly, but I chose to watch it and enjoyed it. It wasn't sensationalized or anything- just an honest instructional video on preparing a strange food item. Kudos.
Seems like it is working as intended then
@@gewurzgurke4964 Is call: ''reality''. CZcams is not so braiwashing like the Tv.
Dude i was thinking the exact same thing.
its my maths teacher, lit school memes. Pretty insane to see him on my recommended.

@@RonBest XD
Did you survive?
I tried it after watching this video and it was really good. Very expensive in the UK, but worth it. I posted the video as well 👍
@@thra5herxb12s what????? Dude ??? It was pretty good ???
I am Scottish living in Australia. I think you got it absolutely right with haggis and vegemite comparison. I eat haggis on rare occasion and enjoy it and get exactly what you are saying. I wouldn't try Surströmming though hehe.
Vegemite has a very sharp and intense salty flavour, especially if you layer on too much, and it is definitely an acquired taste.
Quality haggis is delicious - there’s nothing especially challenging about it unless you have an issue with eating offal. I’d put it in the same category as black pudding/blood sausage.
The primary complaint I hear about haggis is that it’s too rich and heavy and a bit ‘stodgy’ especially when served with potatoes and turnip.
I've lived in Scotland and regularly ate haggis. I never understood what was supposed to be so strange or offensive about it, organ meat is regularly consumed all over the world and as far as organ meats go, haggis seemed fairly tame to me. I really liked it though, especially on pizza, and always thought it could make a good topping for ramen.
@@kiyoaki1985 I always wanted to try a good haggis. Now I want to try a pizza with haggis aswell!!
I live in the us, and had no trouble with haggis when I visited Scotland, no trouble with vegemite in Australia (though less appetizing than haggis for sure) and I could barely swallow surstromming on an hors d’oeuvre. I felt like that zombie fish came back to life in my stomach to swim around the rest of the night. I guess some cultural delicacies are closer to others, and some are just on the far opposite end of the spectrum. I couldn’t do the Balut in Vietnam either. Something about fermented meat that I just don’t have the constitution for.
@@Daddybuttman Yup haggis is quite delicious. The thought of the ingredients might put most people off. I think Surströmming will be on par as almost impossible to eat for most people as Balut. I wouldn't even try either.
I really like how balanced you are in your explanation; encouraging people to get the best out of a new taste experience, and dismissing the other over exaggerated reaction videos.
This guy: "It smells a little bit, but it's not so bad"
Rest of the world: "Brueeegleghhhghgh"
Its because the rest of the world that tried to eat it ATE it like an idiot and just jam it on their mouth as it is.
@@paganmin80 the rest of the world starts gagging and vomiting only from smell without even touching the fish.
Haha
Not so bad, I'm doing this outside because the weather is so nice. That's all.
I mean lots of people doesn't like the smell and the taste durian

@@craigboden9455 I will surely will! Thanks!
Freak
I eat it as fillets with fresh potatoes, creme fraiche and chive. Absolutely amazing, but using fillets saves you a few minutes of sitting in the unpleasant smell.
Not even the first time i've watched this video, it seems to pop up on my recommended every couple of months. A relaxing watch every time.

Szwedzki przysmak. Ja też myślałem,że gościa "pogięło" i kładzie to na serwetkę :)
rob. g that would explain the fish, or the entire bizzare food.
Love it. I live in the US and brought a can of surströmming from Sweden when I went home. We opened it outdoor and had all the fixings. The reaction was anywhere from gross to interesting. I am not sure it is ever going to be more than a local Swedish thing. But so what, please visit Sweden, you will like it.
This guy is so relaxed and pleasant. True gentleman. He would be the great personality for teacher in my opinion.
He was apparently a teacher
He isn't relaxed, the intro is so anxious.
@@k.w.a.s pretty sure he's on the spectrum imo

I love how honest this guy is about it. Like a salesman sheepishly trying to sell you a lemon and you both know it. Good video!
It's not so bad...
There are plenty of other foods in the world that are delicious, and doesnt involve entrails. I think I will go with those instead!

i've never tried either, but i wouldnt pussy out
@@eabrook2 it still has the guts of the fish.
I like to watch surströmming videos every now and then. It's a meal unlike any other, and it is a testimony to history - how powerful our ancestors' will to live and fight starvation was, in fact.
Brilliant, you have cleared up the mystery about this particularly Sweedish food.
My life is now complete! I’ve come to the end of the Internet! I’ve seen everything! I’m finally finished!
Hahaaaha 😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao 🤣
Me toooo. Haha
its just youtube
I'm from Malaysia. Got curious one day and bought a can of surstromming from ebay. The smell is strong, but not that much different from some of the fermented seafood we have here. I experimented with it. Mix it with sliced chili pepper, diced onions and squeezed a wedge of lime over it. It goes really well with a rice. I also mix it in a stir fried veges as well. I apologize if any Swedish is offended that I don't prepare it the way it should be.
Why would you apologize.. it's just food, you decide how to enjoy it
Which is worse belacan or this?
@@anonymous-do5bs Belacan is milder in my opinion. more like cencaluk + budu. Well not really. but it's the closest i get. My brother on the other hand said it's like tempoyak that gone bad.
@@fadlya.rahman4113 haven't tried either of those but I guess u can say it's pretty bad right 😂
Ionuc C tell that to the Italians. They take their pastas seriously.
As an Aussie, I'd like to thank you for nailing the concept of Vegemite, it’s not a sacred dish (to most Australians) it's different. And it's an experience for many.
But I’m not sure I could survive Surströmming. I will respect its Swedish aficionado’s.
Hugh Jackman taught me how to eat vegemite correctly and now I love it.
I think that the fans of this food are just a myth, because I didn't see a single one...
@@snaigel well shit by that logic I don't exist because you've never seen me lol
@@helicocktor Yes you exist, you are writing to me xd
@@snaigel what if I'm just a figment of your imagination and you're actually schizophrenic.
Oh shyet I'm not real. Fuck.
The combination of potatoes, yoghurt, chives, fish and bread is just really solid. I can see how it tastes decent even if the fish itself is quite an acquired taste.
Yeah I agree. Most the time foods like this are born out of necessity, I'd suspect most people who really love it are older and it may have even been a treat at one time during long, dark winters. Why people thought it would be some rich people, super tasty delicacy is beyond me.
Kinda like Menudo, people praise it up and down saying how good it is but it's not good because it's got organs and stomach lining in it, it's good because people spent a LOT of time trying to figure out how to make the cheapest, most available stuff palatable.
It's not yoghurt, it's sour cream
@@jaade9485 ahh ok, I guess yoghurt works fine too. But I can pretty much guarantee you he would've used sour cream if he'd had it at home. That's what's traditional here in sweden.
The way everything is “not so bad” for him is the way i want to live my life

I’m impressed by the care he takes to make sure he is speaking eloquently in what I assume is his second language. The pauses and corrections make his speaking as refined as a native Englishman.
Stumbling about this instruction video, I am definitely delighted about the fact, that Mr. Dahllöf widened my horizon by explaining the one and only traditional method of eatig Surströmming. Up to now I have never gone beyond videos that display a lot of vommiting guys by opening the cans - bragging about their mates' strange sounds - but this video definitely makes me feel prepared for any events involving 'it'. Thanks a lot for this masterpiece of cultural education. If you didn't know, now you do. 😬
I had literally no intention of watching this all the way through, and then I did, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would totally eat that final product. You really couldn't have presented that much better.
Quite captivating
You actually had me when you said “different kind of experience.” Reminds me of an old chef I used to work for. His quote was “have balls to try everything, you don’t have to swallow. If you hate it spit it out. But at least have to balls to try.” Never had the balls to call him out on his phrasing of his favourite quote however.
Oh that fucker knew lol
Yeah, I’ve said that to a few women too.
@@jimgavin1726 I don't know how many times i've told this to your mother at this point
Wait, what? This chef advised you to swallow his balls?
Literally the rule I go by when trying something I haven't ever eaten yet. I can't go wrong with trying, now, can i? The only thing is if I get the new food from someone else I'm a guest at, I tell them straight away that I have never ever eaten it, so please excuse my reaction and prepare only a little taster of the whole food instead of a whole plate.
This is what the tube was made for. Thank you good sir.
Now a days when i see a thumbnail with no arrows, circles, artificial colors, bait tittles, a persons face with an unhinged expression, i just know its going to be a absolute masterpiece,a true classic, vintage utube at its finest without actually beingfrom the good old days, wen the tube was still in Its infant stage, innocent, and pure, without any nonsense and perhaps not a single ad, not even one. Take notes kids, this is what a true banger looks like.

was waiting till the end for it
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
I love his defence of Surströmming, he is literally in the middle of a large area of grass, and having to open in under water; that does not sound like a food I want to tangle with. I lived in Sweden and I would not even dream of going near the stuff.

Surstromming is great in potato salad or as an accoutrement to potato latkes or as seasoning to a stir fried rice dish. I love it, if I had a recipe, I’d make it myself!
Thanks for the advice. I've just bought my first tin of Surströmming, the same brand as you have in the video and almost impossible to get hold of here in Ireland. I'm planning to have a bit of a Surströmming party at Christmas with a few friends and I'm sure your advice will make it a more pleasurable experience.

Thank you very much, for years I've been looking forward to try my first surströmming and now I know how to do it properly.

What a wonderful 'grown-up' antidote, to all the puerile videos, showing people throwing-up! Many thanks!
Have you ever smelt it. It smells like the sweat under deadman’s ball sack
@@mondachewon2873 Its the reason why you open it under water, away from the preparation area, and take a singular fish out after getting most of the liquid off of it. And then remove the gross entrails and the crunchy spine. If I'm not mistaken in my theory, the flavor is partially due to the fermentation with the entrails and the bones included, like a stew in a way, so when the good stuff is separated from everything else, its not so bad. Eating it without removing the entrails and bones is like eating a stew without removing the spice leaves and the bones, neither you'd ever want to consume.
So much preparation for it to be an acquired taste on level with vegemite. If I have the chance I will try it, not for the experience nor the taste, but because you went through the effort of explaining very well how to not mess it up.
You know I'd actually be willing to give it a go in one of those wraps it doesn't look half bad. I can see how the pugency of the onion, the sourness of the yhogurt, the dilution effect of the potatoes and the bread would combine to make it palatable and even pleasant. I might be tempted to add something picked as well or perhaps some capers.
This guy is clearly a very nice man. I feel like hes the awesome grandpa/uncle that you get really attached to because they do anything and everything to make the grand children/nephews happy :) great video
He did well. He stood up for a thing everyone hates. Hard to do. Keep going!
Do you live in Colorado?
He was a math teacher
The lesson one needs to take when it comes to very strong foods, is that they always seem to be eaten with a pile of relatively bland staple - like potatoes, or rice. You made mention of Vegemite, and like Surströmming, the most common form of eating it is on buttered toast. I form I occasionally ate it is is with mashed avocado on top. There's nattō, the Japanese fermented beans. They get eaten with rice.
So really, people need to remember these pungent foods get eaten with other stuff that help augment and soften them.
Natto is excellent, i prefer it to vegemite
@@northe4158 What kind of saft are you drinking? Mine is 1 + 7 (ICA) but better quality is down to 1 + 4.

Jason McLemore Just be careful for the death juice
I once heard of a guy actually drinking the juice from the can. No matter how much you enjoy surströmming, drinking the juice must be pretty awful
Jason McLemore Moscas incluídas..
I saw what you did there... flies included. I live in Sverige one year and I try the exact recipe and it is delicious, I mean it was pretty good after all the rituals of opening and preparing the fish. Viva Chile!, la comunidad más grande de migrantes de Suecia!
I'm not gonna lie, the way you described the taste at the end, and the way you actually prepared it, it looks really good.
unfortunately it only looks like that, i thought like that too .
Yep, that’s the first person I’ve seen eat it and not make a song and dance about it. Well done mate 10/10. Very educational. 👍🏻
“When you open the can, you might not want to inhale”😂😂😂💀
Open the can outside. Under water. If at all possible remove your face because the smell is putrid.
Then layer it with potato and union till you can't taste the burned sour fish you just opened. Welcome to pandora's box. It smells like ass

Awesome! I've had a laugh watching lots of people trying to open that can! Thank you for teaching us how to eat it properly!
Glad to see that people actually eat this (and not just waste it in challenges) and as an Australian i am not offended that you don't find Vegimite fabulous, also there is a certain way to eat it also... 😄
I much prefer someone like this who is willing to educate and share foods from their culture vs people who are clueless about such foods and being sensationalistic about how gross the food is.
Thanks for the comment. I am glad you liked it. /Åke
Damn even the fish in Sweden need Ikea manuals
this is one of the most enjoyable videos i’ve watched all year
THANK YOU for taking the time to explain how this is supposed to be eaten.
I would say the bread looks like a corn tortilla/flat bread and sourcream could be used instead of yogurt.
unfortunately, this product is not readily available in the USA but can be purchased but at an unreasonable price (50.00-99.00 USD).
Wish I would have known about this during my travels through Sweden on my way to NordKapp from Germany(Wiesbaden was home for years) would like to have tried it.
Thx again!!

Great video. Here in Italy we have something on the same line of that - it's called "colatura di alici" and it's basically a thick liquid obtained from piles of rotting anchovies 😅 It's quite strong in taste and you basically use it as a replacement for salt in your fish-based dishes. In small amounts, and used the right way, it's absolutely delicious (as I'm sure surstromming must be)
I didn't know that anchovies suffered with piles. 😮
The British have Worcester sauce and in many parts of Asia this kind of fish sauce is also really popular.
The difference is that it's usually used as a condiment, like soy sauce, and for cooking.
Here however, the dude is just eating rotten fish. It's not quit the same 😂
it's garum! call it by the name your ancestors called it
@@OmnivorousOtter101 don't act so conceited if you don't know what you are talking about. "Garum" is a generic and rather debated term for something similar that the Romans (but maybe the Greeks as well) were believed to make. The definition is very uncertain, however it was probably a sort of sauce, this meaning that it contained pieces of fish - lot of different fishes. I was referring instead to something different, which is strictly liquid (not a sauce) and is produced with only one type of fish (anchovies). Garum is probably an ancestor of this product, but it's not the same thing.

Showed my wife how to properly eat surströmming today. Years after finding this gem, I’m glad it’s still around 💛
I must confess that I confirmed my hunch by reading some comments. But after watching the video for two minutes I thought you had something to do with the world of mathematics. Thank you for bringing me closer to this culinary tradition, greetings from Argentina!
As a Finn (yes, a Finn despite my name) I found this video to be a lot of fun and interesting. Loved the accent as well, somehow a mix of English and Australian accents, with a touch of the Swedish accent behind the scenes.
As some comment stated, which I can't find anymore, the "bomb disposal"-introduction is quite hilarious and makes the video even more fun to watch.
I got quite curious about trying to eat this the right way. Even got a bit hungry while watching it, and also started to miss summer already.
dunno how everyone is finding the australian accent, lots of aussie accents are pretty rowdy and wildly out there compared to his slightly poshy british accent
@@Yobott I think for example that he pronounces "try it" in (to me) a more Australian way. There are some other cases as well.
Is Surströmming much different than pickled herring?
@@bopryszlak3863yes, if herrings are firecrackers, this stuff is an atomic bomb. Without exaggeration: the smell of it alone can easily induce vomiting, let alone eating it.
I eat the whole thing backbone and all just add salt
I am really glad this video is out there. Thanks, OP. Ive never tried it, but it is good to see it done by someone who knows how to properly eat it. Very fascinating
What a perfect accent! I would never have been able to tell that English is not your native language.
Thanks
Almost everyone in Scandinavia speaks English.
He speaks good English but I can still catch some accent. If you watch some Swedish youtubers, I think you can tell it's sort of a similar accent.
Brithis accent actually, I was embarrased because I spoke with american accent (from Chile)

I just love the way everything's framed at the start, this huge man in shorts telling us everything's perfectly fine while the camera operator stays waaay back. National dishes are weird but you have to appreciate them.
I certainly didn't expect to see a t-shirt from my hometown in Poland when CZcams randomly suggested a Surströmming eating tutorial
I watched the video for the 3rd time and just now realised the same thing 😂
As entertaining as it is to watch everyone gag and vomit to surstromming, it was still interesting to see someone eat it the correct way. It’s crazy how vastly different the two experiences can be.
Imagine someone thawing a frozen turkey and complaining that there are bones in it. It's normal that food needs a little more preparation.
yeah, still gonna be a no from me dawg
Happyk 😂😂😂😂
Any food I have to carefully open outside my house is a no
👏😂
Not sure what i expected when I saw this video to pop up in my recommended, but I'm pretty sure I now know how to eat surströmming. Skål!
I wonder if all the people whining about how this is some "insane prep" to eat something have actually cooked a full, proper meal ever.
I ate surströmming once without knowing it was surströmming. It was actually really good, and I would definitely eat it again.
I've spent 10 minutes watching a guy make a sandwich, might as well see him eating the sandwich.
Lol!
Its just how you know that he's speaking the truth the entire time. It proves that he taught us the correct way to prepare it.
But its still absolutely hilarious to watch people open the can the wrong way. That one poor guy who opened it in his car, like a dozen Febreze cans were discharged in one video
@@Avetho oh I remember that dude in the car. Trust me that smell will stay for months in that car. No car refreshener will help. Its embedded into the surface and I can't help but cry 🕺🏿🕺🏿⚰️🕺🏿🕺🏿
I love how this man says "backbone" lol it's so enunciated and determined
Crazy your dedication to continue to respond to messages after all these years, and crazier how most people have seen you through this video. Life works in mysterious ways. Hope you are doing well, it was a pleasant video to watch but I think I will stick to non fermented herring.
What's up European Henry Rollins
Haha Henry Rollins gave the commencement speech at my college graduation
G1
😂👌
I was about to comment that! But seems like I was 1 year too slow (Just came over this video today).
@@lindseygirk5584 I'm sorry you had to endure him
I've seen the videos of people bashing it, but I always wanted to still try it. Seeing this man passionate about it and loving his culture shows it doesn't matter how smelly, icky, or whatever, its just the experience as a while. Really want to try this. Thanks Ake!
The only thing that bothers me is why use a fork to cut-up the potatoes while using the knife to hold the potato in place ?!
You, sir, are the epotomy of what a true youtuber should be. And now please excuse me, I'm off to buy some fermented fish to put in a bucket of water.
Finally. A man that knows how to properly prep and eat a food that is uncommon to a lot of people.
