Sail Mermaid S1 E04 - X-mas in Melilla - Serving Lutefisk and Pinnekjøtt

Celebrating X-mas with my newfound friends, fellow Norwegian Rune from S/Y Vesper and the British couple Jim and Cora from S/V Edna May. I am serving Lutefisk and Pinnekjøtt to my Brittish friends and have a wonderful BBQ on their boat on X-mas day. From wikipedia: Lutefisk is dried whitefish (normally cod, but ling and burbot are also used) treated with lye. The first step is soaking the stockfish in cold water for five to six days (with the water changed daily). The saturated stockfish is then soaked in an unchanged solution of cold water and lye for an additional two days. The fish swells during this soaking, and its protein content decreases by more than 50 percent, producing a jelly-like consistency. When this treatment is finished, the fish (saturated with lye) is caustic, with a pH of 11–12. To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet another four to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily) is needed. Eventually, the lutefisk is ready to be cooked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk From wikipedia: The preparation of pinnekjøtt uses a traditional method for food preservation utilizing curing, drying and in some regions also smoking as means of inhibiting the growth of micro-organisms. Although lamb is today available fresh or frozen all year round, pinnekjøtt is still prepared both commercially and in private homes due to the flavour and maturing the preservation process gives to the meat.
