Review: 5 out of 5 stars — The Can That Changed My Life (and My Nasal Passages) - I bought a can of surstromming thinking it would be a quirky way to spice up our weekly “Weird Food Wednesday.” What I got was a transcendental experience that began with the sound of hissing doom and ended with me questioning all my life choices. The moment I opened the can, the fish aroma punched me in the soul. My dog ran away. My neighbor called the HOA. A raccoon passed out by the porch. Somewhere, a Viking ancestor wept with pride. The flavor? Imagine sardines that spent a semester abroad in a chemistry lab, got really cultured, and came back with opinions. It was salty, funky, slightly illegal in spirit, and absolutely unforgettable. After just one bite, I reached nirvana, or maybe it was just oxygen deprivation. Either way, 10 out of 10 would recommend. Just don’t open it indoors. Or near people you love. Or near anything with a functioning nose. Would I eat it again? Yes. After therapy. Review: Zero fish!!! - When we opened the can there was literally, zero fish! Everything had liquified except for red juice filled with bones and cartilage. It was disgusting. All those little bones looked like spider webs, they were fine, thin and bristly. Oh, and there was a ton of thick, white pus-like globs floating in the red juice and thick on the underside of the can’s lid. Absolutely no fish whatsoever. It was disintegrated and mucousy. bleagh! ## Features - Contents 300g - Country of Origin Sweden - Ingredients herring, salt - How to Save refrigeration 6 ~ 8 Ž ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007P8WSKU | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,210 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #8 in Packaged Pickled Herrings | | Biological Source | Herring | | Brand | Röda Ulven | | Brand Name | Röda Ulven | | Color | Red, Yellow | | Container Type | Pouch | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 274 Reviews | | Flavor | Fermented Herring | | Item Form | Fillets | | Item Package Weight | 0.49 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 0.3 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | RODA ULVEN | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.49 Kilograms | | Part Number | Olivia | | Temperature Condition | Fresh | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Röda Ulven - **Item Form:** Fillets - **Item Weight:** 0.3 Kilograms - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **Package Weight:** 0.49 Kilograms ## Images ![Roda ulven Surstromming - 300g surstromming Challenge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kkw5nMlSL.jpg) ![Roda ulven Surstromming - 300g surstromming Challenge - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sWI3yhICL.jpg) ![Roda ulven Surstromming - 300g surstromming Challenge - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LhVXMOWGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why in the name of God is this stuff so expensive ?** A: Hello Jerry, the shipping fee amazon provides is fixed... almost 50% of the price i set is actually what it costs to ship from Norway. **Q: Where is made** A: It is made in Sweeden **Q: Are you selling food that expired 2 years ago?** A: Of course the fish is not expired. Expired goods can not be sold to customers under any circumstances! We get a new stock on a regular basis. The cans we currently sell we’re delivered in November and have still a shelf time of more than over one year. **Q: Why is this fish so dam exspensive?** A: Surströmming is a Swedish delicacy, a type of fermented herring that is known for its strong odor. It is often considered an acquired taste, and its unique preparation involves a fermentation process that results in a distinct aroma. The cost of surströmming in the USA can be relatively high due to several factors: Importation Costs: Surströmming is primarily produced in Sweden. Importing it to the USA involves shipping costs, customs duties, and other fees associated with international trade. Limited Availability: Surströmming may not be widely available in the United States, and the demand for this specialty product may be lower compared to other foods. Limited availability and lower demand can contribute to higher prices. Specialized Importers: Given the nature of surströmming, specialized importers or Scandinavian specialty stores may be the primary sources for obtaining it in the USA. These stores may have higher operational costs, contributing to the overall price of the product. Handling and Storage: Due to the unique and pungent nature of surströmming, special care is needed in handling, transportation, and storage. This can increase the overall cost of the product. Niche Market: Surströmming is not a mainstream food item in the United States, and it is often sought after by individuals interested in exploring unique and traditional foods. The niche market for surströmming may result in higher prices due to its specialty status. It's important to note that the high cost of surströmming in the USA is influenced by a combination of factors, including importation logistics, limited availability, and the specialized nature of the product. If you're interested in purchasing surströmming, it's recommended to check with specialty food stores, Scandinavian markets, or online retailers that may import and sell this delicacy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5 stars — The Can That Changed My Life (and My Nasal Passages) *by M***Y on April 22, 2025* I bought a can of surstromming thinking it would be a quirky way to spice up our weekly “Weird Food Wednesday.” What I got was a transcendental experience that began with the sound of hissing doom and ended with me questioning all my life choices.

One person looking at each other… chain reaction of spew. Kenny from tech support tried to run, but got confused and knocked the can on the floor and accidentally kicking it. Fish juice and pieces went flying all over Tiffany from HR. The barf turned to tears and snot noses. God was not with us that day. Should be considered a biohazard…. Now looking for a new job. Only because the smell of this and barf isn’t coming out of the tile. ## Frequently Bought Together - Roda ulven Surstromming - 300g surstromming Challenge - Asian Taste Presserved Duck Eggs 12.7 Oz - Mega Sour Raspberry Bombs 250 gram bag (1/4 kilo) by Barnetts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/150574236-roda-ulven-surstromming-300g-surstromming-challenge](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/150574236-roda-ulven-surstromming-300g-surstromming-challenge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
