Now, trust me, I want to get the best of Christopher, and I'm up here to meet two guys who make this amazing delicacy that can only be found here.

現在，相信我，我想找到最會做這道料理的人，而我來這裡是為了和兩位製作這種只有在這裡才能找到的美味佳餚的人見面。

First of all, I'm excited to see and taste this incredible delicacy that is rockfish.

首先，我迫不及待要看看跟品嚐這道用石斑魚做成的難以置信的美味佳餚。

Rakfisk.

- 不是石斑魚，是Rakfisk - Rakfisk - 好的。

OK.

好。

After what seems like hours are saying the same thing back and forth, he and his nephew Magnus show me how they make the crown jewel of their family business—fermented fish.

在經過好像好幾個小時都在來回說同一個東西後，他和他的姪子Magnus向我展示如何製作他們家族的傳家之寶──發酵魚。

- What's a smell. Very strong. Is that normal, that strong? - Yeah.

- 這個味道很強烈。 那麼強烈是正常的嗎？ - 是啊。

Trouts, and what is that one there?

鱒魚，還有那個是什麼？

This is Arctic char.

這就是北極鮭魚。

- So it cures it. - Yeah, exactly.

And how old is this method?

那這個方法流傳了多久？

Dates back to the Viking age. Now it's more popular than ever.

可以追溯到維京時代。現在它比以前更受歡迎。

Shall we?

我們要開始了嗎？

First, you put salt in the belly, like this, and you just put them in the bucket.

首先，你要把鹽抹在肚子裡，像這樣，然後你就把它們放進桶裡。

And then is heads, tails, heads, tails all the way through.

然後是頭，尾，頭，尾，一直這樣反覆。

- Opposite. - Yeah.

- 反方向。 - 對。

- And you build. - Exactly.

- 然後堆起來 - 沒錯。

Sounds pretty straightforward, or so I thought.

聽起來很淺顯易懂，或者說，我本來是這麼想的。

But the rakfisk master is not impressed.

但rakfisk師傅卻不以為然。

- Too much? - Too much.

- 太多了嗎？ - 太多了。

- Too much. - Less.

You have to use your wrist.

Nei, nei, nei, nei. Salt.

不對，不對，不對，不對。多點鹽。

That's it?

就這樣？

Perfect.

- 對啊。 - 比這還強？

Let's try our special Christmas batch.

讓我們來試試一批聖誕特別版。

I'm worried that special, in this case, is not a good thing.

我擔心這種所謂的「特別」不是什麼好事。

So what's special about this batch?

那麼這批有什麼特別之處呢？

We have had it in the barrel for a longer amount of time.

它放在桶裡的時間更長。

Now, oh my God, the smell of that. Bloody hell.

現在，哦我的天，這個味道。老天爺。

It doesn't look very appetizing.

看起來不是很有食慾。

The smell gets stronger the farther down the bucket you go.

Oh my lord.

哦，老天爺啊。

Oh my god.

哦，我的天。

It's like putty.

它就像油灰一樣。

Why is this so... a special rare delicacy when it stinks?

為什麼它這麽……臭氣薰天還能變成一道特別又稀少的美食?

You should not think about the smell. It's the flavor.

你不應該去想它聞起來如何。重點是它嚐起來。

Don't!

No, no, no.

不，不，不。

That's right texture.
