Olsen Fish Co. of Minneapolis said Thursday it purchased Mike's Fish & Seafood of Glenwood, Minn., making the combined company a powerhouse in the world of Lutheran church suppers, Scandinavian Christmases and Sons of Norway dinners.
Beyond that, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
For the uninitiated, lutefisk is a traditional Scandinavian dish made from cod soaked in lye. Even in Nordic circles, lutefisk's unique taste, powerful smell and squishy texture are treasured by some, detested by others, and a source of mirth to many.
