Lefse Lovers, Lutefisk Laughter Location Before we start, for the Norwegianly challenged- Lutefisk is dried cod that has been soaked in a lye solution to rehydrate it. It is boiled or baked and served with butter and salt and pepper. The finished lutefisk usually has the consistancy of Jello. So, imagine a hot, fish flavored Jello and you can understand why Norwegians love it so much. It is traditionly served in the U.S. for Thanksgiving and Christmas and avoided the rest of the year. Top 10 reasons to EAT Lutefisk 10. So you can make wise-crack remarks about it the rest of the year. 9. It makes you appreciate the rest of the meal. 8. "It's not too bad, if it's made right." 7.
