The clean and oceanic flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. rakfisk fermented trout is an ancient preservation method still enjoyed at Christmas. Understanding that context made …

Klippfisk as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Klippfisk is absolutely in that category. The gamey and earthy quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. fresh salmon does work that no substitute can replicate. rakfisk fermented trout is an ancient preservation method still …

Underwhelming Klippfisk — expected more

I was looking forward to Klippfisk here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The subtly smoky character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with fresh salmon or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. Norwegian coastal geography shaped a c…

Ingredient appreciation — what makes Klippfisk special

What sets Klippfisk apart is the handling of lamb. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the clean and oceanic result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. Norwegian coastal geography shaped a cuisine centred on preserv…
