Is this typical Norwegian cuisine?

  1. *Sebastes norvegicus*? Also called rockfish, Rose fish or Atlantic redfish.

    If so, typical for me, not for most people today, but maybe more common here in the north. I actually ate it a few days ago. Very tasty, perfectly white flesh. Usually eaten with boiled potatoes, rutabaga, cold butter and bacon.

  2. What is that abomination? I have never ever seen that before! Most be something they eat at the coast somewhere…

  3. Why does everyone answer this question seriously? 😂

  4. Wtf no, never seen or heard of anyone doing that

  5. In Norway, people do not usually eat a whole fish head. Only certain parts are eaten, like the cheeks and the tongue, and the rest is often used for stock. Dried fish heads can also be processed into fishmeal. On larger fish the head is mostly bone, so it is not typically eaten as a whole.

    If you want to see a more typical (historical) cuisine, google “Smalahove”. But again: you do not eat the “head”, you eat the meat on the head.

  6. I wish the cultural discussion on reddit was less negative.
