Lutefisk is usually made from cod fish soaked in water, then in mixture of water and lye and then water again, to reduce the caustiscity from the lye soak.

My grandmother used to make lutefisk every year for the holidays. I grew up eating it and actually liked it smothered in melted butter.

As the joke goes-What's the difference between lutefisk and boogers? Kids will actually eat boogers!

Growing up in this area (N ID), the hunting tradition has always been mainly big game and waterfowl, consequently most of the firearms one would find in shops were rifles, pumps or semi-autos. I believe that the situation has gotten better, however, doubles are still probably more scarce than what one would find elsewhere. The ones that do show up, particularly from private sales can often times, be good deals.

Quote from Garrison Keillor's book Pontoon:


Lutefisk is cod that has been dried in a lye solution. It looks like the desiccated cadavers of squirrels run over by trucks, but after it is soaked and reconstituted and the lye is washed out and it's cooked, it looks more fish-related, though with lutefisk, the window of success is small. It can be tasty, but the statistics aren't on your side. It is the hereditary delicacy of Swedes and Norwegians who serve it around the holidays, in memory of their ancestors, who ate it because they were poor. Most lutefisk is not edible by normal people. It is reminiscent of the afterbirth of a dog or the world's largest chunk of phlegm


When I lived in the Midwest I knew people of Scandinavian origin who used to eat his stuff and some how managed to survive! eek

Frog Legs are only behind Alligator Tail & Rattlesnake for being some of the best eating you ever put in your mouth. Of course a good bait of properly "Hand Slung" & fried Chittlins Ain't a fur piece behind.

As a kid in the '50s, I would go to my Grandfathers house and he had a Fox Sterlingworth in his house. I would always want to look at and hold it. I thought that it was a piece of art it was so good looking. He always told me that he could not hit anything that was flying and that he only had killed 1 pheasant with it. But he kept his family fed through the depression with rabbits and squirrels. When I was old enough, I bought a Savage Fox -Model B for $100.00. My Grandfather eventually gave me his old Sterlingworth - which I still have and cherish. I also have my Savage Fox. Good memories!!!

My dad gave me his Fox 16 gauge in 1944, when I was 12 years old so that I could accompany him duck and goose hunting in our blind in the entrance to Powell's Creek on the Potomac River. I remember we shot only Kleanbore shotshells, because those were the only ones we could find at the time (during WWII), generally at the Quantico Marine Base PX. He shot his old Winchester 1912 duck gun for everything. I was a small kid, and that Win 1912 with its long duck barrel, I couldn't shoot, so he gave me his old Fox. I loved that gun and could shoot anything from turkeys on down with it.

I came to SxS's later than many on this site. When I was 5 Dad bought us boys a Model 12 20 guage and it was pumps and autos since. About 7 or 8 years ago while in my late 40's I stopped in at a gun auction viewing. As luck would have it there was a cased H.E. Akrill marked round action sidelock on a table. I knew nothing about SxS's, but I picked it up, threw it up to my shoulder, and heard her SING. I don't know how else to say it, but most on this board probably know what I mean. It fit me perfectly and I had never felt such balance. A close look at the fine rose and scroll engraving impressed with the detail. Researching the Akrill name and the patent stamps and talking to H.E.'s descendant showed it was made by William Baker in Birmingham between 1907-1909.
That was several dozen SxS's ago. A fairly expensive day, but I don't regret it.
