To Aquavit and Back June 2009

Lisa Braun mentioned that Aquavit had a Lunch buffet. Unlimited herring and other fishy and non fishy stuff for $48. And so it was done. More forms of preserved herring than you could imagine, as well as the superb Gravlax. My only regret was eating a big chunk of poached salmon. This was fine but the raw fish just left it in the dust. My favorite herring was Matjes. This is a salt cured rather than vinegar cured raw herring. Had I not eaten the poached salmon, I could have eaten even more of the Gravlax or the Matjes. Except for the deserts (also superb) I just concentrated on the raw fish, ignoring brisket of beef and other offerings.
