From a culinary perspective, Scandinavian food is poised to be the next big thing on our plates if we follow the trends coming out of the UK. In fact, the Danish restauarant Noma recently was named best restaurant in the world!
Traditional staples such as smoked fish are becoming more widely available so now is the perfect time to start experimenting. In fact, my fossicking today found me in the Mediterranean Wholesale Supermarket on Sydney Road, Brunswick. What a place that is! More about it soon. At the back of the shop I found freshly smoked herring and baccala which is simply dried cod. So, it's true. Northern Europe is infiltrating our culinary ways.
Australia has some of the best seafood in the world so why not indulge in some smoked trout the next time you are thinking fish. Smoked trout is readily available and can be experienced as a dip or works particularly well as an addition to salads. Perhaps try a smoked trout nicoise salad. Or if something warm is more your liking, this angel hair pasta recipe combines rocket, chilli and lemon. A great combo!
Scandinavia is a 'must see' region of the world! Check out this amazing food inspired journey to Denmark, Norway and Sweden being hosted by Food and Wine Travel.
