This is a Scandinavian dish. Lutefisk is cod that was traditionally dried to preserve over the winter. When it was time to use it it was soaked in a mixture of lye and water which rehydrated it and made it softer. The texture is like Jell-O and it falls apart easily so it must be handled with care. It is certainly a strange food fish Jell-O so don't be too critical. Some people love it others will hate it. This is simply the best way I have found to prepare it.
