One of the basic food products in Norway is salmon, eaten by Norwegians and exported to many other countries. Basically salmon is bred in saltwater fish-farms, which are spread all over the country in numerous Norwegian fjords. One of those farms has been captured by me in Hardangerfjord:
One of the typical Norwegian dishes is gravlaks (that is cured salmon). This is a raw salmon cured in salt, sugar, and dill. In the past salmon was also fermented by burying it in the ground, this is where it got its name from (grave means bury).
You can also buy two most popular types of salmon: smoked salmon and of course fresh (or frozen) raw salmon.
Smoked salmon goes very well with scrambled eggs, sometimes ruled in lefse, which is a soft, flat type of "bread" (looks more like a flat pancake).
