Surströmming Fillets - Fermented Herring Fillets in Traditional Tin

I cannot understate how smelly these fish were. It smelled like death but like not death I have ever smelled. Interesting taste, salty and fishy of course. Great fillets. My package arrived ahead of schedule and made for a delightful laugh when the can exploded on opening in my mother, who acted as though she was hit with a caustic acid and raced to strip as fast as possible. 100/100 recommend

This was by far the worst thing I’ve ever purchased on Amazon. I expected strong smell and taste — it’s surströmming after all — but what I received wasn’t even edible. When I opened the can, there were no fillets, no chunks, not even a single piece of fish. Just a disgusting, grayish sludge that looked like it had already been digested. You can see the picture — it speaks for itself. The texture was slimy and foamy, and the smell was indescribable — like a mix of sewage and decaying fish left in the sun. This is not a traditional delicacy, it’s a health hazard in a tin. Complete waste of money.

Was exactly what you think it will be. The can expiration time was the same as when we received it, and was so puffy it looked explosive, so we know it would be exciting to open. Once opened it continued to fizz like an Alka Seltzer tab in a glass of water. The taste? Salty. The texture? Hard Bones and mushy flesh. The smell? Imagine opening a soiled diaper, that had been wrapped in a plastic bag and left on the dash of a car in the middle of summer. For a week. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it...

Bought this for a family challenge during Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. Immediately after opening, the horrid stench overwhelmed everyone (reminiscent of dirty diapers). Minus one star because of the high price and the fact that this is absolutely not food lol. I don't know how anyone can eat this.

You’ve seen the videos. It’s horrible. But not as bad as they make it out to be. It’s more salty than I expected. Crackers help.

Terrible product. There was zero fillets in the tin. Nothing but liquid. Complete rip off for $40 and Amazon won't refund my money. F this vendor and f Amazon.

The can was dented in four places and swollen. It was in really bad condition. Surströmming Fillets - Fermented Herring Fillets in Traditional Tin

Very disappointing. There are no filets. Just bones and mush meat water. Smell wasn't that bad. Smelled like cat food. Only one of my co workers puked. Would not buy again.
