Stockholm
OK, I’ll admit it. I love pickled herring! I’ll have to confess though, before today I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about – some crazy, historical Scandinavian fetish that was born out of need for food in the winter or something. Bull. It’s heavenly. I reached this particular enlightenment at Prinsen (The Prince) here in Stockholm; they serve a mixed herring platter tapas style with 5 small dishes of herring in various sauces, and a few extra toppings for fun. Now I’m a huge sushi fan, and I’m particularly picky about my fish, but these flavours blew my mind. I’m going to enjoy hunting down some more ‘traditional’ style restaurants here…
