Roy, I can deal with and have tried many different foods in my day. But seriously? Fish pudding?

While I haven't made it in some time it's not bad. I use a cod so it's very mild to start with.

I've found that when you make something that's completely foreign to you that you don't know if the recipe you used is what the dish is really supposed to taste like.

There was a father and son construction team that used to do work for my company and they were of Norwegian decent. The dad was a lot older than my dad and I figured that the son (Paul) was about 15 years older than me. So I asked them if I brought in some Fiskegrot if they would try it and tell me how they honestly like it and that said that would be fine. I was off the next day and made a batch and brought it in for part of their lunch.

They really enjoyed it and actually said that the white sauce was the best they'd ever had and wanted the recipe so I printed it out and brought it to them the next day.

Sometimes you don't know if you'll like something if you don't give it a go.

NOTE:

I 'think' that the 'Fish Pudding' is what throws people off. It's more like a fish meat loaf.

I make a wonderful dish that is called a 'Corn Pudding' but it's actually 'Baked Corn'.

Interesting. I have tasted fish pudding as a sandwich topping with shrimp and mayo,
but fiskegrøt was new to me. Probably from further north in Norway.

The egg and potato starch act as a binder so after the dish is cooked you can let it sit for a little while then slice it and serve with a cream sauce or fried onions OR both. It can also be fried in a bit of butter to brown it before serving.

If it's rolled into balls it can be poached and I believe that's called Fiskeboller I've tried making the balls but they just fell apart.

The one thing that I found also was to put the ground up fish in a thin towel and squeeze excess moisture out helps hold the thing together.

Now that we're talking about it I'll have to dig some cod out of the freezer and make some the next time my daughter and kids come for the day and supper. I bet it's been 15 years since I made it last.
