Instructions
- 1
IMPORTANT: Always open the can of Surströmming outdoors. Submerge the can in a bucket of cold water and pierce the lid underwater to safely release the pressurized, pungent gas.
- 2
Open the can fully, remove the fermented herring, and rinse them gently under cold water. Cut off the heads and carefully fillet the fish, removing the spine and skin.
- 3
Flake the potent pink meat into small pieces.
- 4
Lay out a piece of buttered tunnbröd. If using crisp bread, break it into serving-sized pieces.
- 5
Layer the warm, sliced almond potatoes over the bread. Scatter the flaked surströmming sparingly over the potatoes (it is extremely salty and intensely flavored).
- 6
Top generously with the finely diced red onion, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh dill. Roll it up or eat it open-faced, preferably accompanied by cold beer or aquavit.
