The cans often bulge  during shipping and storage because of the continued fermentation  process.  Certain airlines have in fact banned these cans from being taken on  flights, as they consider the pressurized cans to be potentially  dangerous, like fireworks and explosives. When the can is opened the  smell is usually what will get to you first as the fermented fish has a  really strong odour. It’s usually eaten with a type of flat crispy bread  and boiled potatoes. Sometimes people drink milk with it, but beer and  water are often used to guzzle it down.<img src="http://bna-art.s3.amazonaws.com/www.bootsnall.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Surstromming.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
