Thanks for stopping by. I don’t know where you can buy surströmming. The batch I tasted at the conference had been brought by one of the attendees from Sweden. I see that you are in the UK. There is a food blogger of Norwegian descent who blogs in the UK by the name of Signe Johansen. While Surströmming is Swedish, she might know of scandinavian shops in the UK which sell traditional food items. You can find her blog here: http://signejohansen.com/

Here in the United States, things like pickled herring and lutefisk are way under-appreciated, though they reflect the heritage of so many of us Scandinavian-Americans!

If you’re asking if Surströmming is pickled herring then, no. It is fermented, so the taste is *a lot* stronger. We had lots of nice pickled herring at the Oxford Symposium this year. One of our lunches was a Norwegian Lunchbord provided by some of the members of Slow Food Norway.
