Its pickled, not raw. Scandinavians have been pickling fish for a very long time and it's worked out OK so far.

It's been working out a lot better since the invention of flash freezing. For both sushi and pickled fish, the risk of parasites was always present. Now it's just as safe as cooked fish and it doesn't taste any different from raw.

We have, the Netherlands aren't Scandinavia though.

I know and I was waiting for someone to complain, even though it doesn't affect the accuracy of the comment. You have won this bouquet of Dutch flowers: 💐

I would call 4 flowers hardly a 'bouquet' :D

But no baking, frying, or cooking of any kind?

Y'all ever heard of sushi? Pickled is overkill.

It’s no different than sushi. The Dutch have lekkerbekje if you want to eat fried fish.

I've never eaten sushi either.

I'm American. We choose microwaving.

Deepfrying is for fast food restaurants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but if we had to pick one, I'd say microwave. Deepfry is enjoyed by all, but mostly a southern thing.

I've lived along a lot of the east coast, south of DC. Yeah, that's southern mostly, but I would say fried fish is not only a southern thing. Hell, it's a British thing too. Fried chicken, and everything else, is southern, but I've seen fried fish all over, wherever fish is common.

I don't know if I'd call it the American style, but it's common. The issue is America is a bunch of states. It's like if you tried to combine all the states in the EU to one style.

I think fried is becoming less common in the US though. It definitely isn't my preference, and I think that's increasingly true as time goes on.
