Dear Blackheart,

Hotdish is easier to spell, and warmer sounding, than casserole. And we need all the warmth we can get. Trust me.

Frozen Spitless

P.S. - It's luteFISK, not lutefish.

Dear Spitless,

Try adding some Cajun seasoning to your casseroles that are renamed Hotdishes.

Got me on why you all are wasting perfectly edible fish by soaking it in lye, then renaming it. I don't see warmth in that.

Regards,

Filthy Blackheart

Dear Dirty Inky Darkness,

Lutefisk is actually not edible before soaking it in lye. It's also not edible afterward, in my humble opinion, but then I'm not Norwegian.

I do like Cajun seasoning.

A Not-so-Scandanavian Minnesotan

Then pray tell, WHAT is the fish in lutefisk if it's not edible before being soaked in lye? As far as I can find, it's a basic white fish, which if cooked without soaking in a caustic chemical is generally edible. But I may have found very wrong information, it'd hardly be the first time.

It's usually cod. Blech.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockfish lutefisk is made from stockfish. Stockfish, while edible by itself, grosses me out. It's not salted, and is allowed to age dry like cheese. Nuff said.

So yeah, technically you're correct, you CAN eat the fish before making it into lutefisk - but it's no fish I'd want to eat either way.

Pass the orange roughy, please.

That's just nasty to start with. I hardly think it'd be improved by soaking it in a caustic substance.
