Minneapolis, Minn. — The annual lutefisk supper at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis usually draws several thousand people. The Friday event is traditionally the biggest event on the Minnesota lutefisk calendar.
Believe it or not, there are roving bands of lutefisk lovers who make the rounds of church suppers, in search of the perfectly prepared Scandanavian dish.
One Twin Cities couple are regulars on the lutefisk dinner circuit. Ellie and Wendell Holmgren of Edina usually make it to about six lutefisk suppers a year, though their record is 12. They talked to Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer about their love of lutefisk.
Wurzer also visited the Olsen Fish Co. in Minneapolis, which is the largest processor of lutefisk in the world.
