Persetorsk

Persetorsk is a traditional fish dish originating from Bergen. The dish is usually made with a combination of cod, sugar, salt, dill, bacon, and a sauce consisting of shallots, green peas, crème fraîche, vinegar, and dill. The cod is pressed for a long time in a solution of sugar and salt, and the fish is then cut into pieces and fried in bacon fat until the skin becomes crispy.


The fried pieces of cod are served on a plate and the sauce is poured over it. The dish is traditionally served with munavoi, a mixture of hard-boiled eggs and butter.

As this is a very tough dish to find, and this is my forst time to taste it, can't be sure this is the proper way to make it. This is a pub more than a restaurant, so a bit of cutting corners is expected. Still, hearty and tasty dish worth recommending..
