Bah, if we're talking about bizarre sea-food related recipies, Sweden probably has the worst.
I can't remember it's name, but they catch North Sea sharks, kill them and gut them, and then bury them deep in the sand and leave them for a few months before exhuming and eating them. The stench can be smelt from a few miles out, and the closing flocks of seagulls pinpoint the position.
The only thing that could possibly save that meal is Schnapps!
I concur on the matter of steak, although a nice Bearnaise can go down well on the side.
Sorry- Freedom Sauce.
