First time trying Rakfisk — completely converted

I had never tried Rakfisk before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The gamey and earthy taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. brown cheese is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a traditional Norwegian home setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Norwegian coastal geography shaped a cuisine centred on preserved and fresh fish. My server recommended cloudberry cream alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Rakfisk. Outstanding first encounter.
