Dried fish snacks are a popular and healthy food that comes from drying fish, usually cod. Dried fish has a long history in Norway and other Nordic countries, and is part of the traditional food culture.
Dried fish snacks are made from small pieces of dried fish with a little salt added, but there are other varieties with pepper, herbs and other flavours. They can be eaten as they are, or dipped in sauces such as sour cream, mayonnaise or mustard. Dried fish snacks are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, and have a low fat content. They are also gluten-free and lactose-free, making them suitable for people with food intolerances.
Dried fish snacks are a perfect snack for any occasion, whether it's for a treat, a party, a trip or as a snack. They can also be used as an ingredient in salads, soups, stews or pizza. In this blog post, we share some tips and recipes on how you can enjoy dried fish snacks in different ways.
Dried fish snacks with sour cream dip
This is a simple and classic way of serving dried fish snacks.

Then you make a sour cream dip by mixing sour cream with a little lemon juice, salt, pepper and finely chopped chives. Serve the dry fish snacks with the dip in a bowl and enjoy!
Salad with Dried Fish Snacks
This is a fresh and healthy salad that is perfect for lunch or dinner. You need to boil some potatoes and eggs, and cut them into pieces. Then you mix them with lettuce leaves, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and olives in a large bowl. Sprinkle over some salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar to make a dressing. Finally, top the salad with some dried fish snacks that you have heated up in the microwave or frying pan. Voila! A delicious and filling salad with dried fish snacks.
Pizza with Dried Fish Snacks
This is a fun and different way to use dried fish snacks. You need to make a pizza dough by mixing flour, yeast, water, oil and salt in a bowl. Let the dough rise for an hour, and roll it out on a piece of baking paper. Then spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, and sprinkle grated cheese over it. Spread some dried fish snacks over the cheese, and add a few slices of mozzarella cheese if you want an extra cheesy pizza. Bake the pizza in the oven at high heat until the cheese melts and the dough becomes crispy. Cut the pizza into slices and serve with a green salad.
