thumb|Lutefisk prepared to eat
Lutefisk (Norwegian, in Northern and parts of Central Norway, in Southern Norway; ; ; literally "lye fish") is dried whitefish, usually cod, but sometimes ling or burbot, cured in lye. It is made from aged stockfish (air-dried whitefish), or dried and salted cod. The fish takes a gelatinous texture after being rehydrated for days prior to eating.
