To me lutefisk don't really taste like anything. You dip it in butter. The texture is kinda jello like. One thing I know for sure, is that it surely stinks up the joint when you cook it.
A good Norwegan told me that lutefisk should be firm, not jelly like. If it's like jello it wasn't prepared correctly. That being said I've never had it. Heard to many stories about it growing up. I'm really going for the meatballs and deserts. Although in a weak moment I just might try the lutefisk. Lots of butter can cover up some bad tasting stuff. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Ray, I'll spare you the details but the lutefisk comes in slabs or circles of dried meat. It gets soaked in a lye bath to rehydrate. Yum, yum.
