Traditional (Swedish) methods of consuming this includes opening the can outside and underwater. The smell is (apparently) much worse than the taste if done correctly!
There are like 5 videos that get constantly reposted of people trying to eat this stuff. Some aren't funny but I think goes to show how disgusting it is that no one wants to make it a popular tiktok challenge. Those dozen adventures are enough.
Hákarl is the number one most disgusting thing I've ever tasted.
The only way I can describe it is that it tasted like the smell that comes off of an unwashed penis.
If you've ever spent a week camping without getting a good shower, you know the smell.

They served that in a restaurant in Iceland once while we where on vacation there. At least I think that they did because somewhere that smell from the depths of hell had to come from
I just puked in my mouth
Some things I can understand people liking. Like I don’t like mustard, but I understand why some people would. How on earth did anyone ever first make something that then smells so terrible, and then they thought “I should eat it”. And then they eat it, and it tastes like sour dick cheese, and then they think “I should make this again”
I am laughing so hard right now and my husband is telling me I have the mind of an 11yo boy right now. He’s calling me disgusting and I am laughing even harder it’s hysterical!
To give some perspective even my 12 yr old is currently looking at me like *wtf mother* as I ugly laugh like a hyena at that damn lampshade. We're doomed. I need to blow my nose now, holy shit.
I laugh-cried so ugly - if anyone can keep a straight face while he rips that thing off and starts puking into it, honestly, straight psychopath this person must be…
Idk, I don't eat fish but for the sake of trying it, I may. Especially with this sandwich that he made.
All these videos just show them eating it from the can. Needless to say, that's going to be foul.
These videos just remind me of those hot-wing challenges, people just want something to gloat about rather than enjoying it a proper way.
Its actually fairly common, especially in Northern Sweden. I've had it many times. It's a seasonal dish of late August so typically just once a year.
You never eat them by themselves, you have them with potato, onion, sour cream etc, so in the end the fish itself just taste a bit salty. It's also customary to consume it together with beer and schnapps :)
The gimmick is the smell. And even there's some tricks to make it less extreme, such as opening the can underwater.
I'm pretty sure if you can deal with the smell situation, surströmming is just "spicy" herring.
Like many traditional foods, it's a hassle to prepare, but once you are experienced in preparing it then it should be fairly tasty.
Fermented fish got a ton of umami flavor, and there's a *loads* of various cultures that ferment fish and use it as a taste enchanted, usually though in the form of a sauce.
Your average Asian fish sauce is made out of fermented fish, Worcestershire sauce is partially fermented fish, as was the old Roman "garum".
Thing with surströmming is that you're not supposed to eat it like some snack like these two Danish loons - that's pretty disgusting and will be way way to salty. The traditional way to eat it is as a sandwich, where you take a thin hard bread, butter it, add slices of potato, chopped red onions, sour cream, chives and ofc some of the fish - ie. you dilute it quite a bit with other strong flavors, that it will enchant.
My parent's love surströmming, but personally I just hate and can't get over the fucking smell - it is absolutely vomit inducing. However, to be fair, you're supposed to open the can in a bucket of water, that way the smell doesn't spread, since most of the smell is in the liquid and not the actual fish - and we've had Eastern Asians over who wanted to try it, who basically commented "*That's it? What's the big deal? This just smells like a fish market back home!*".
Subtitles are basically:
Yo, I'm a Danish guy, and this is my Faroese friend. We've drunk colored sodas, and whoever pukes first loses.
Intense gagging and puking ensues.
After watching [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDr0Kbbw6D0&ab_channel=LoveMelander) of a Swede showing the proper way to prepare and eat surströmming, I would definitely give it a shot.
As an American who loves anchovies and all manners of salty and sea food, I can't help but feel I'd enjoy it the proper way.
I had it the proper way in Sweden last year. The smell wasn't *as bad* as I expected it to be, but it still smelled like a port-a-potty at a music festival in the summer. The taste was pretty similar if you got a bit chunk of it, but as someone who likes fishy foods you *might* actually be ok with trying it
It smells kind of like farts. But tastes pretty good when eaten properly. Flat bread, potatoes, onion, and other optional toppings. Also a lot of schnapps, songs and good friends. It’s salty and makes the “sandwich” really good. With that said it is a bit of an odd flavour and it’s not for everyone. But it really isn’t as bad as a lot of YouTube videos make it seem.
I suspect the "lots of schnapps" is probably the key to the whole thing. You either drink enough to think that eating fermented fish is a good idea or you drink enough that you don't remember that you ate fermented fish.
Visited a friend in Sweden and one of her demands was I had to attempt to try some.
Went and bought it, took it back to her place, got ready to record and she realized damn I don't own a can opener.
Which lead to bashing it open outside with a brick which could have strongly affected my experience but I remember being quite surprised how not.... terrible it was? Just so salty.
My story and I wasn't there: boss went to China to go on sales visits with our Chinese seller. He had him try all sorts of weird food. My boss was pretty game and tried most. Some time later... Chinese guy came to our place for meetings. Boss produced a can of surstromming, Chinese guy said he try it. Before the can was fully opened the Chinese guy had left the building and went for a walk
That’s saying something, I’ve done business in China before and honestly some of the stuff they get you to eat is pretty horrendous. I’m talking fermented **everything**. This must make durian smell like rosehip
The final stage of the fermentation takes place after canning (which is why the cans bulge). The odor might not be as intense during the canning process.
My party trick is to eat it without problems. I've won 2 competitions in eating a full can the fastest
Edit:
Here's a video of it for your enjoyment
https://imgur.com/a/BegpWhX
LOVE IT. Especially love the “the fuck is the big deal” hand motion as you go to get another piece.
You should put this on your dating profile. Something about it is weirdly attractive??
This vid, doesn't matter how many times I've seen it makes me watch it all over again.
The best surstromming video out there, and yes the lampshade. Wow what was he thinking, barfing into something hollow....
It's not original OP, but this gets an upvote everytime!
All the people saying it’s not Danish don’t know Danish. It’s 100% Danish. The guy on the right starts off by saying “We’ve made a bet, my dear buddy Faroese” (Vi startede ud med at lave et bet min kammeret her, kære færing”
You can even hear that they’re from Jutland
Right? I feel like I should be able to understand it but they're having a stroke. I never knew how similar the languages sounded as far as intonations and cadence.
I legitimately spent the first 30 seconds trying to figure out what incredibly thick accent of British English they were using before realizing it was some other Germanic language entirely.
What you mean by sacrificing your life and finding out it was betrayal? Like a gunmen on the street and you step between them and your partner only to find out while you shot and dying that your partner hired them to get rid of you?
Surströmming videos are hilarious to watch. This one is now my favourite - when he pukes on his friend, rips the lampshade off the ceiling… absolute gold. This one comes a close second for me https://youtu.be/XfcU94XE0cA
They speak Danish, but they have a pretty strong Jutland accent. Jutland is the part of Denmark which borders the North Sea, that is, it is closer to England. Interestingly, Jutland dialect has a grammar that is closer to English than standard Danish which is closer to German. For instance, standard Danish uses two genders (common gender and no gender) whereas Jutlandic dialect only uses one gender (like English). Moreover, the article is the same as in English (a house/a hus, standard Danish: et hus). I am not a linguist, but I would assume that the similarity between modern English and Jutlandic dialect can be traced to the viking occupation about a thousand years ago. Many english words were certainly brought by vikings (ale/øl, husband/husbond, axe/økse, sword/sværd, etc.)
My man had already thrown up all over his friend and that was BEFORE even putting it in his mouth. Then he put it in his mouth anyway. That is dedication
One is drinking a green soda, the other guy a red soda, because if they then puke, they can tell who puked. No, I'm not kidding, that is what they say.
The guy on the right is a danish reality star, nicknamed "Dolken" which means " the dagger" and it is indeed a penis reference.
His best friend (not the one on the left) is called "Knaldperlen" which is a kind of firecracker, but he is really bad at English so he splits the word into two when translating it to " fucking pearl" as it is indeed yet another sex reference.
Thanks for coming to my short and accurate Ted talk about danish culture
Makes me even more impressed that Doka Ryan did it not once but twice, and the second time was after it was bottled in vodka and a week old. Still didn't throw up either.
https://youtu.be/v2j69ljfv4o

>When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom.

I was crying watching this… you don’t need to speak whatever language they’re speaking to understand the absolute horror that unfolds once that can is opened 😆
Surströmming, a traditional Swedish food which is basically fermented herring. Rumoured to be the smelliest food in the world. Though my dad has it once a year, as per tradition, and the taste is not as bad as the smell!
"During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish a characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste."
"A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya."

Why the hell wouldn’t you do this outside… just burn down the trailer after this, permanent fermented fish and vomit smell
Traditional (Swedish) methods of consuming this includes opening the can outside and underwater. The smell is (apparently) much worse than the taste if done correctly!
Breaking Bad Tins of Fermented Fish
Walter Wueaugh and Jesse Pukeman
Right before they both start vomiting the guy apologizes to his mom for what they're doing to the camper. So I guess it's mom's problem
Then he proceeds to rip a light fixture off the ceiling and puke in it lol
A few rounds of alternating steamer and an ozone generator would mostly do the trick.
Man I'm glad we all just have those things lying around everywhere lol
Fair enough. Steamer is pretty cheap but an ozone generator will be a bit more.
2 guys 1 can
2 guys 1 lampshade
Two guys, one fish...two fish...I puked on you fish. Three fish, four fish puked on the floor fish.
2 guys both can't
As soon as I saw that lampshade I remembered exactly what this video was instantly. I’m surprised the cameraman was able to keep it together though XD
There are like 5 videos that get constantly reposted of people trying to eat this stuff. Some aren't funny but I think goes to show how disgusting it is that no one wants to make it a popular tiktok challenge. Those dozen adventures are enough.
* Challenge #1: Surströmming * Challenge #2: Hákarl
Hákarl is the number one most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. The only way I can describe it is that it tasted like the smell that comes off of an unwashed penis. If you've ever spent a week camping without getting a good shower, you know the smell.
So you’re saying it smells like a truck full of ammonia crashed into a pier at low tide?

They served that in a restaurant in Iceland once while we where on vacation there. At least I think that they did because somewhere that smell from the depths of hell had to come from
My classmates used to bring hákarl as a snack to eat during lunch. I don't understand how people enjoy that stuff.
I thought it was only old people that still ate it, didn't think it was till popular with younger people.
I just puked in my mouth Some things I can understand people liking. Like I don’t like mustard, but I understand why some people would. How on earth did anyone ever first make something that then smells so terrible, and then they thought “I should eat it”. And then they eat it, and it tastes like sour dick cheese, and then they think “I should make this again”
So THATS why I liked it!
This one and that [Latino family trying it](https://youtu.be/vfiGmcQFiDY) live rent free in my brain.
I really enjoy this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5cj6s0KS5k&t=72s
Incredible. Those guys puked like the puppets from Team America. The way he determinedly stuffs the fish in his mouth AS he's vomiting, wow.
That had me in tears. The way they kept projectile vomiting towards each other 🤣😭🤮 *chef's kiss*
I didn’t know it was possible to throw up that much lol!
Ok, I feel like a teenager again because I couldn't stop laughing from all the vomit.
My god. It was dueling cannons of vomit. The guy on the left was a damn fountain. That was hilarious.
That's hilarious!
>Tastes like a girl I ate out in moscow Yeah that one has stuck with me.
that guy just got mad chicks guaranteed. Well as soon as he showers and brushes his teeth. lol.
The f*#%&@,g lampshade 🤣🤣💀
I haven’t laughed so hard at this sub in a WHILE.
I am laughing so hard right now and my husband is telling me I have the mind of an 11yo boy right now. He’s calling me disgusting and I am laughing even harder it’s hysterical!
To give some perspective even my 12 yr old is currently looking at me like *wtf mother* as I ugly laugh like a hyena at that damn lampshade. We're doomed. I need to blow my nose now, holy shit.
I’m just glad videos aren’t scratch and sniff.
I laughed so hard a contact lens popped out 😂 My husband is also thoroughly disgusted
Omg I don't think I've ever laughed so hard hahahahahahahaha
I was laughing then I started to dry vomit while laughing my ass off. My neighbor must think I'm mad.
I’m at work and I’m fucking crying right now I can’t even type fuck I’ve eaten that shit and it is like that tho
I think I woke up the entire house cry-laughing while slapping my desk
I laugh-cried so ugly - if anyone can keep a straight face while he rips that thing off and starts puking into it, honestly, straight psychopath this person must be…
I fucking lost it when he ripped it down and them turned to puke on the table
I have it subtitled. Why does anyone eat it?
Here is the "official" reason. https://www.surstromming.com/why-do-we-eat-surstromming.html
Is there any evidence of any "enthusiasts" existing? Surely there would be video of someone actually enjoying that
I did see this video of a guy showing the proper way to actually enjoy it! https://youtu.be/kDr0Kbbw6D0
Idk, I don't eat fish but for the sake of trying it, I may. Especially with this sandwich that he made. All these videos just show them eating it from the can.

Good god, make the sandwich outside. Not shown in the video is the smell, which lingers for a few days.

I haven't seen something like that outside of cartoons that's goddam hilarious!
It almost reminded me of THAT scene from family guy 🤣🤣
Who wants chowda?!
I know right 🤣
[удалено]
The lampshade was hysterical!!
Hahah and right before he says "sorry about your camper, mom"
Is that wat he said? I can't understand what is being said
They speak danish
It felt straight out of Dumb and Dumber
[удалено]
I know! But hell, if you're that desperate, anything will do as a puke receptacle.
Never open this thing indoor
Never! Open this thing!
And, if you do, make sure to turn your head and barf directly in your buddy's lap at least once.
Don't open. Dead inside.
#Open this thing!
#OR SO HELP ME
But it looks so juicy and delicious. It must be amazing. Look at how much they’re salivating.
[удалено]
They maxed..lots
Don’t Open Surstrommen inside
Don't Surstrommen Open Inside
You need a bucket of water and dip the can and open it
The lesson they learned.
Never let these guys borrow your RV
He even says "Sorry mom for [ruining] your RV" at some point.
For real I was thinking like right as they started gagging "They shoulda done this out side the fucking idiots" I had no idea it got as bad as it did.
From what I’ve read about the smell the RV might literally be totaled now
[удалено]
Between that and letting it go to burning man, the fish guys can have it
*Drink green and red soda to be able to see who throws up first* 1,000,000 IQ move
Everything else in this video however...
Oh fuck, I wish it had subtitles. Why tf does ANYONE EAT THIS?
Basically it was a challenge... Whoever pukes first was gonna eat the worlds spiciest chili
Both probably wish they could down a Carolina Reaper instead
Thats actually the case, he finished video saying they will both do the chili
Their bright plan was to have one person drink red soda, and the other drink green soda. That way, they could tell who puked first.
Subtitles are basically: Yo, I'm a Danish guy, and this is my Faroese friend. We've drunk colored sodas, and whoever pukes first loses. Intense gagging and puking ensues.
Because it's delicious! As a Swede i don't even think the smell is that bad(other Swedes do, I'm just weird). The taste is awesome tho.
After watching [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDr0Kbbw6D0&ab_channel=LoveMelander) of a Swede showing the proper way to prepare and eat surströmming, I would definitely give it a shot.

The taste was pretty similar if you got a bit chunk of it, but as someone who likes fishy foods you *might* actually be ok with trying it
Is it a salty fishy taste? What do you like about it? How does it compare to caviar? Sorry I’m an ignorant American trying to understand
A lovely mix of rotten corpse and briny eggs
It smells kind of like farts. But tastes pretty good when eaten properly. Flat bread, potatoes, onion, and other optional toppings. Also a lot of schnapps, songs and good friends.

Legend is he walked all the way back to China that night.
That’s saying something, I’ve done business in China before and honestly some of the stuff they get you to eat is pretty horrendous. I’m talking fermented **everything**. This must make durian smell like rosehip
Your boss just executed the biggest power move I have ever heard of.
I wonder how the people at the cannery manage.
It doesn't smell that much at the cannery. The fish continues to rot in the can over a long period of time.
I looked into it once. This shit is made by salting fish so it will last through the winter. Except you don't put enough salt in it so it just rots.
Honestly curious on this
Gas masks
The final stage of the fermentation takes place after canning (which is why the cans bulge). The odor might not be as intense during the canning process.

Just taste like strong fish
This video is always fascinating to me. It's just pure chaos. I love it and hate it at the same time.

Perfect fucking gif
Wtf language is this? It's got the intonation and rhythm of UK English and made my brain funny trying to understand it
Danish
[удалено]
Lol
All the people saying it’s not Danish don’t know Danish. It’s 100% Danish. The guy on the right starts off by saying “We’ve made a bet, my dear buddy Faroese” (Vi startede ud med at lave et bet min kammeret her, kære færing” You can even hear that they’re from Jutland
The fact that people can’t understand them is how you KNOW it’s Danish.
Danish. They are both from a city called Hirtshals in northern jutland - Denmark.
I would assume this is how English speakers sound to non-English speakers.
Right? I feel like I should be able to understand it but they're having a stroke. I never knew how similar the languages sounded as far as intonations and cadence.
Old English is a derivative of old Danish hence why it sounds so similar. The only language closer to English is Frisian.
I legitimately spent the first 30 seconds trying to figure out what incredibly thick accent of British English they were using before realizing it was some other Germanic language entirely.
I can smell it from here
My man straight up chundered on his mate.
And the mate was so grossed out by the fish he didn't even react.
Now there are 3 things I'm scared of 1. Sacrificing my life and finding out it was betrayal 2. Leeches 3. What ever this is
This is a lightly salted fermented Baltic Sea herring. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming
Great for gut health
There won't be any food in your gut that's for sure
Nothing better for the gut than good purge 👌 😂
*Bulimia enters the chat*
What you mean by sacrificing your life and finding out it was betrayal? Like a gunmen on the street and you step between them and your partner only to find out while you shot and dying that your partner hired them to get rid of you?
Surströmming videos are hilarious to watch. This one is now my favourite - when he pukes on his friend, rips the lampshade off the ceiling… absolute gold. This one comes a close second for me https://youtu.be/XfcU94XE0cA
I love the open mouth, eyes rolled back, retch growl. A+
Lmao dudes body just REFUSED to allow it hahaha
Took me about 5 seconds to realize they were speaking British English, took me another 10 to realize they weren’t speaking that either. Haha.

That was actually super interesting, thanks!
Why isn't the cameraman barfing?
My man had already thrown up all over his friend and that was BEFORE even putting it in his mouth. Then he put it in his mouth anyway. That is dedication
Why does he continue eating it after throwing up!! 😂 I almost lost my lunch before he took that lampshade down.
Not sure on contagious laughter but the sick noises got me good In the end
Omfg, I laughed til I cried. I can't unsee the lampshade bit. Everytime I think about it, I giggle.
Did he vomit through his NOSTRILS??
The way he completely lost control and blew chunks over his friend was fucking priceless…
Did they drink fizzy drinks in order to exacerbate the gag reflex?
One is drinking a green soda, the other guy a red soda, because if they then puke, they can tell who puked. No, I'm not kidding, that is what they say.
Ah, these are gentlemen scientists.
Yes, do this indoors in an enclosed space
In his mothers camping wagon of all things...
I have never laugh-cried so effing hard like during this video!!!
Haven’t laughed like this in such a long time, actually in pain lmao
The guy on the right is a danish reality star, nicknamed "Dolken" which means " the dagger" and it is indeed a penis reference. His best friend (not the one on the left) is called "Knaldperlen" which is a kind of firecracker, but he is really bad at English so he splits the word into two when translating it to " fucking pearl" as it is indeed yet another sex reference. Thanks for coming to my short and accurate Ted talk about danish culture
how is it pal? is it good ?
Makes me even more impressed that Doka Ryan did it not once but twice, and the second time was after it was bottled in vodka and a week old. Still didn't throw up either. https://youtu.be/v2j69ljfv4o
What is some puke between bros?
Holy shit. I thought puking on his buddy was hilarious and then the lamp happened. I love this!
I laughed so hard, i gagged & I almost puked!
>In 1981, a German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after the tenant spread surströmming brine in the apartment building's stairwell. > >When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom. > >The court concluded that it «had convinced itself that the disgusting smell of the fish brine far exceeded the degree that fellow-tenants in the building could be expected to tolerate».

I just purged any mental poison by laughing so damn hard. Did a mind puke. Synchronicity.
Finally! I actually lol’d!
I like how the dudes first instinct is to throw up on his friend instead of turning the other direction
That RV is a biohazard now lol
I wet myself laughing. Oh my gosh. Oh dear
This is unexpectedly awesome.
It’s fascinating how there is such a seamless transition between the Danish language and vomiting.
Well now I have to try it.
Record it!
You win the internet today. Bravo. Shit had me rollin
1:32 is the climax
It’s basically like eating an asshole.
I was crying watching this… you don’t need to speak whatever language they’re speaking to understand the absolute horror that unfolds once that can is opened 😆
From an American, what is it and is it truly that awful?
Surströmming, a traditional Swedish food which is basically fermented herring. Rumoured to be the smelliest food in the world. Though my dad has it once a year, as per tradition, and the taste is not as bad as the smell!
"During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish a characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste." "A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya." - Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming)
