Smelly Swedish herring gets museum all its own


Fermented Baltic herring, a Swedish delicacy so smelly that the tins are best opened outdoors with a pinched nose, will be the focus of a new museum dedicated to the specialty. The museum will open on June 4 in Skeppsmalen, just north of the northern town of Oernskoeldsvik, and will give visitors a historical, cultural and culinary overview of the dish, as well as an opportunity to taste it if they dare.
