Contest #876 – AB Gösta Hannells Fisksalteri, Skagshamn, Arnäsvall, Sweden

This factory is the largest supplier of surströmming. What is this canned delight you ask? Our friends at Wikipedia describe it as “lightly salted, fermented Baltic Sea herring traditional to Swedish cuisine since at least the 16th century.” Similar to durian, It is said to be one of the worst smelling dishes available anywhere, and has generated a LOT of truly hilarious videos from non-Swedes trying to eat it. Just a few of these gems include:
