Lutefisk was just a way to preserve white Cod - soaked in a weak lye solution and then dried. It is packed dry in cardboard barrels. The fish has to be re-hydrated and the water changed many many times before it is steamend to cook it. If done properly it should be almost tasteless.


Now that they have the elevator at Hoito I go more often. My first trip was when I was six and they had the long tables and serving bowls. Just like a family meal at Grandmas except Finnish spoken not Hungarian. Please excuse the spelling. My wife is Finnish and she has given up on me. I will be in Thunder Bay tomorrow and that will be dinner aka lunch by those not familiar with a mid day meal. smile

Praise the Lord for full Salvation
Christ Still lives upon the throne
And I know the blood still cleansess
Deeper than the sin has gone
