Surströmming Also known as “sour Baltic herring”, Surströmming is a Swedish dish consisting of fermented herring. It usually comes in cans that, due to the fermentation, often bulge. As long as the can stays closed, Surströmming isn’t much of a problem, but as soon as the lid comes off, the odor becomes too much to bare. This is the main reason even fans of Surströmming prefer to eat this fish dish outdoors. In 2006, several airlines banned Surströmming, claiming the cans were potentially explosive. Swedish authorities say that’s just a myth, but why risk it? If the can doesnt kill you, the smell probably will.
