Surstromming, when folks hear this it brings into mind that trendy viral videos of folks repulsed by the selection and taste.
That was not my experience in the slightest.
Sure, there is a particular smell to it but this isn't like anything I expected from seeing videos online.
I was pleasantly surprised by this tin. I'm not sure if it was hype or not, but I didn't find the smell unbearable. Flavor was like a funky aged cheese.
When I first got the can, it was very bloated, worried it would explode but I placed it in the fridge and it settled down some, to where it didn't appear to be under so much pressure.
Would happily try this again.
Such a kind gift, THANK YOU ANNA! 🧡
Surstromming done right!

Yummy 😋
Those viral videos of people eating surstromming are always exaggerated for views (same applies for those durian videos).
No one actually eats it out of the can straight. Glad you showed the proper way to eat it which is on traditional flatbread crackers and topped with other goodies to balance out the overall flavor.
I watched a Swede eat this on YouTube. He submerged the can in a bucket of water to open it, rather than offend everyone within a 3 block radius.
You made it look easy.
This was such a good and accurate video. Finally someone not being overly dramatic. Bravo
I always knew that people had to be overreacting and this vindicated my suspicions. Thanks for sharing! I’ll need to get my hands on a can, they’re just so expensive to ship to the US. I like funky foods like strong cheeses and stinky tofu anyway, so I’m sure I’d like surstromming.
Respect
You’ve made it look genuinely appealing and I can see why Swedes try so hard to get people to try this the correct way.
I really enjoyed this one!!
tyler you brave brave son of a fishy eater. Thank you again for being the guinea pig trying this.
I’m an avid fermented food lover, but the idea of my fish being fermented too! No sir!
What i have seen is these cans swell so much in shipping, so maybe the fridge is the trick on this? The videos i’ve seen even underwater they explode on opening.
OMG Tyler! When I first saw your content, I thought it was just reposted ( I am new here🤦🏾♀️)! I realized today that it was not, and I wanted to tell you; Thank you so very much!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾! I watched one of your videos about three weeks ago and thought; wait, what is this!?!?👀 I did not know about tinned fish, but I absolutely adore tuna! Since then I have fell in love with tinned seafood, and it has been life changing!
You content is equally as amazing as you are, and is literally the best thing I have seen on this app! I am so appreciative, and wanted you to know how perfect your content is! Again thank you so very much luv!!!
!!!💞💕💗💕💞!!!
PS- when you mentioned your husband I literally gasped! It is even more amazing to know that you are one of my ppl! I can not begin to express my gratitude!🫶🏾!
Mad respect for giving this a solid try. Really enjoyed this video nice job man. Good review of this one and I like how you tried it with all the traditional fixings and by itself
Love it dude! Great video as always!
I now have a strong feeling that I could probably enjoy surstromming!
Great video and review. Might have to try these now
Yer blowing my mind. Every video I’ve seen of people trying this was all gagging and heaving.
You’re the only person I’ve ever seen not vomit and gag uncontrollably while attempting to eat this.
I’m proud of you, Tinned Fish Tyler
Best one was Kingcobrajfs eats surstromming
Open it in your kitchen and you’d get its reputation.
yeah some foods like that are more like a condiment than something to eat on its own. the caviar / funky cheese comparison is apt. The ingredients you used look tasty together
I draw the line at Surstromming. That’s a hard No for me. But I’m glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you for making this video! I’m game to try it sometime because of this!
This felt like we were on a tinned fish date. Lol thanks for posting 😸
