Road trip and The weirdest preparation of fish you’ve ever seen

Today, Hive account@kariofthenorth , my mother and myself went on a little roadtrip to a place called Andoya. There’s some villages, an air force base, space center (believe it or not) and STUNNING nature. Huge, flat areas with high peaks popping out from nowhere. We were served “lye fish” which I’ll tell you all about.

We were a little delayed by this guy who decided to flirt with disaster just when we were passing by:

Moose vs car is really bad for business. I’ve seen to many incidents and there are no winners.

How to make lye fish!

-You need to get top shelf white fish. We use arctic cod. Hang it out like in the picture when it’s below freezing. Leave it for SEVEN months. When summer comes around it will have dried up so that birds and insects will leave it alone.

-Rehydrate in water for a couple of days.

-leave it in a solution of water and lye/sodium hydroxide/caustic soda .......!!! For 2-3 days.

-Put it back in water ( to reduce the amount of poisonous caustic soda)

-steam and serve with butter, potatoes and whatever the local tradition might dictate...
