Pickled herring is extremely common in the US, and not just with Scandinavians.

I love pickled herring in all its many varieties. People just refuse to give it a chance. But if they got into it as I have, they would be noshing on that shit all the time. It is the same as it was with sushi before it took off in the west.
>ewwwwws RAW fish???
Now you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting 15 sushi-swilling weeaboos anywhere you go. This could really be the next step in that evolution if people would stop turning up their nose at something they know little about for five minutes.

You can get it at most grocery stores nationwide. If you look carefully in the seafood section, there will be one or two kinds of it in a small plastic jar. It is there, it is just that few people buy it/don’t even know what it is or what it is for.

[Anonymous No.19549806]

It is kind of like an Italian restaurant serving aglio e olio. This is thought of by Italians as a dish you make at home, not go out to a restaurant for.

I live in rural California and have no claim to Scandi heritage whatsoever, but somehow have some in my fridge right now. Yes, you're not going to get the same stuff I got when I used to drive up to Bemidji, but it's hardly "unheard of". Like anon said, it's literally sold in every grocery store in the country, and there aren't THAT many Scandinavians, so obviously people are aware of it and buying it.

There are more Norwegians in America than Norway, my state has multiple Scandinavian restaurants still open after decades

>There are more Norwegians in America than Norway
A quick search tells me that's not true, but it's only like a 20% difference. On the other hand, there are twice as many Italians in Italy as there are in the US, but 10 times the amount of Italians in America as there are Norwegians, and yet I've never seen basic shit like locally made fresh mozzarella in regular grocery stores outside of heavily Italian populated areas like NYC and Southern New England. Scandinavians immigrated to a few areas and most of the population still lives in a few areas, but pickled herring is sold everywhere. Just sayan.

I live in Minnesota and see locally made mozzarella. Granted I live close to the cities, but still. The upper Midwest actually has a shit load of variety in cheese

[Anonymous No.19549955]

>>19549926
Do you see it in major grocery chains, though? It's not like it's hard to find if you look around at specialty stores/Italian delis, but when I lived in RI every grocery store carried fresh, locally made mozzarella, and I've only seen it a few other places. I guess you could make the argument that the prepackaged "fresh" mozzarella you can find in every grocery store is the equivalent of the jarred pickled herring you can also find everywhere - but you have to admit that mozzarella, and Italian food in general, is far more mainstream than something like pickled herring.

Here in Germany, my mom just takes a mix of something like sour cream and yogurt, and that's it, plus salt and pepper of course. It may sound plain (wypipo don spice dey food), but the contrast with raw onion, sweet- and crispness of the apple, and sour taste of the pickles, along with the hering makes for an awesome dish. Goes great with boiled and fried potatoes.

Wrong
>>19550679
The sauce is the following:
Use a shitload of yellow onions cut into thin slices.
Add good amount of butter to skillet and then add the onions and let them cook until translucent at low heat. No colour.
Turn up to medium heat, add flour and cook that through, then add fish or chicken stock + bay leaves and let it simmer for about 10 mins.
Add a bit of heavy cream, bring to boil again, and season to taste with sugar, salt, pepper, and vinegar. It’s supposed to be sweet and sour hence the sugar and vinegar, goes great with the salty fried fish

I grew up eating it occasionally in California. Wouldn't say it's super common though. My Dad liked a lot of "weird" foods like that so I'd end up eating some as well. Liverwurst sandwiches, he'd eat cans of deenz in the morning with a coke while doing crosswords.
