Looking to buy a tin of stinky fish but I don’t know the name.
I know it is banned in several countries and not allowed on planes,
It comes (I think) from probably from Viking land or something like that.

Anyone know where I can buy it or what the real name is please.

PS

It’s going to be a gift 🙂

Surströmming – Don’t even try to eat it, it’s beyond nasty. Good gift though, if you hate the person.

Thank you chaps you’re fantastic. Hope to buy online.
Isn’t it supposed to be healthy ?

It’s great for weight loss – you’re never hungry when a jar of those is the next thing you’re going to eat.

Ikea sell Swedish food, try there.

(joke, btw)

Try bombay ‘duck’ if you think that’s stinky, lovely though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_duck

Never heard of it, this is interesting http://www.swedishfood.com/fermented-herring
Looks pretty pricey for a novelty present!

[edit]Cheap here – http://www.swedishgourmet.se/english/default.asp er, except postage is £40!! 🙁

Only found one place in the UK and it’s not available till summer 🙁
It is supposed to be tasty

Thanks DezB

He made sure he finished it too

i can send you some we have some in the cupboard. It’s quite nice!

It’s revolting.

Utterly revolting.

Best time to buy is when the top and bottom of the can has popped due to the pressure from the gasses given off during fermentation.

Tells you all you need to know about the taste.

Definitely a great gift idea
