    It’s supposed to be opened under water to reduce the smell. Then eaten on flatbresd with raw onions and sour cream.

    I’m Swedish and have never had it. It’s not exactly popular even here.

      The description(s) here put it solidly in the same camp as (Asian) fish sauce. The smell will make your eyes water, but it add umami flavor to a dish and gives is a fuller flavor profile (without actually tasting like it smells).
