As a child and until he was around 40, my brother hated lutefisk. Today he loves it (at the age of 53) It is always hope for you. But, lutefisk and lutefisk may be very different things. Bad done it is a slimy thing risking of disappearing when boiled (cheap, massproduced lutefisk) while done correctly, the flesh is still hard to the touch when boiled and having a tangle of birch wood ash from which the lye should be produced (really missing that real lutefisk which I haven't tasted for years :-( )
