Product description

A traditional Finnish delicacy in a can. 5 years of shelf life and no cock included! In case the "Fish Cock" doesn't tell you anything, it's a Finnish specialty - fish baked inside rye bread. This is a perfect snack or trekking food, always ready to eat, and contains enough energy to keep you going and enough high-quality protein to keep you in shape.

Features

This is sort of a mix of a hamburger and a pie, made out of rye bread and filled with smoked salmon. Because of the hermetically sealed tin can, no preservatives are needed, and the ingredients are just the superfoods they always tell you you should eat.

The guys at Kalakalle are pretty cool, as they don't cheat when they do things. To smoke the salmon, they've built two smoke saunas. The smoke sauna is a house with a really big stove and no chimney. You put a fire in the stove, and the whole building is filled with smoke that gently smokes the fish.

This is the perfect always-ready-snack or trekking food. It tastes good, and if you are equipped with a knife, you should be able to take the pastry out of the can whole. When looking at and tasting the thing, it is hard to believe it came out of a tin can. It looks and tastes so good.

Foreign people might wonder why the excellent delicacy is called fish cock and, well, it's a wonder for us too, since this food was made famous by Savonia, a remote location in the middle of Finland known for inbreeding and incapacity to form sentences that mean anything. In Savo, fish cock means food and flying fish cock a train.

This product is made in Finland. Obviously.

Perfect for the zombie apocalypse

There is a five-year shelf life printed on the can. This is because you have to put something in there. In real life, well made (duh, it's made in Finland) canned food lasts a lot longer, and doesn't really turn toxic. If you store it for reaaally long time, the taste and energy values do deteriorate, but it's still edible. As it is, fish cock makes for a very good quality emergency ration. It'd be smart to store these into your car, your boat, cabin, and anywhere you might get stranded in.

Excellent product! Brings me back to my childhood visits to grandma and grandpa always being served a homemade variant of this speciality with muikku (small fish) and saunasmoked porkbelly in rye dough it was baked on low heat in a woodstove (over night)or for at least 6 hours and when cooked it makes the sound of a rooster thats how it got the cocky name.

Delicious, I ate it at room temperature and it was very good. Use a can opener and not the pull-tab if you want it on a plate, it will come out in one piece much easier. People have said that it is dry and I disagree, it is perfectly moist, but not wet or greasy (thankfully). When opening it smells initially like cat food, but that smell is gone quickly and soon smells like normal smoked salmon & rye bread. If you like smoked fish you will like this.
