Surströmmingsskiva

Fermented Baltic Herring: Surströmming

Some people say it's the worst thing they smelled and/or ate in their whole lifes..
It's "impossible" to open the cans inside. Everything will smell..
Once start eating the fish it is still very tough, but you can make it.
For me eating it pure would have lead to immediate puking, I guess.
Nevertheless it is a typical Swedish tradition during a short period in the summer.

Sunday Afternoon Chillout

Enjoying a Sunday Afternoon at The Student Union's Leisure Cottage
The sauna is right next to the sea :-)

The student union owns a building at the archipelago outside of Stockholm that we (the exchange students) were invited to.
