MINNEAPOLIS — Put down the lutefisk.
It's time to take a fresh look at preserved fish, and Minnesota's favorite lye-soaked cod in white sauce is not on this hot new menu. Instead, just a thin sheet of metal stands between you and some of the world's best seafood.
Several Twin Cities stores are increasing their supplies to meet the tinned-fish demand as charcuterie boards now star tins of mussels in escabeche sauce, and picnic baskets are stocked with delicate white tuna belly from Spain. At least one gourmet shop will open the can of your choosing and give you some crusty bread to go with it.
