Surströmming, a traditional Swedish delicacy, is fermented Baltic Sea herring. The fish is lightly salted and then fermented for about six months, resulting in a strong-smelling and intensely flavored product. The fermentation process creates a sour and pungent aroma, which can be quite potent and overwhelming for those unfamiliar with it. Because of this distinctive smell, surströmming is often consumed outdoors.

Typically, surströmming is eaten with a variety of accompaniments. It is commonly served on flatbread (known as "tunnbröd"), along with boiled potatoes, onions, and sometimes sour cream. The combination helps balance the intense flavor of the fish. Despite its strong taste and smell, surströmming is cherished by many Swedes and holds a special place in their culinary traditions, often being enjoyed in late summer during surströmmingspremiär, the official start of the surströmming season.
