not a fan of Lutefisk myself, but would like to try gravlax.  We're big 
sushi fans in this house too.  We actually live walking distance from 
our favorite sushi restaurant.  The other half, Peter, the brit, gets 
pouty if I don't get him things like pickled herring and marmite.

the reason I posed this question is that while it may not seem strange 
or unique or different to you, it may to me.  It stands to reason that 
humanity would have eaten anything that was edible, and found out the 
hard way at one point or another if plant or animal was not.  On the 
type of Japanese fish that is poisonous unless prepared correctly- 
anyone remember what it is called?   umoi or uomi sticks out in my head 
but I don't think that is correct. . . .oh darn, guess I have to go 
down to Ichiban's for sushi tonight :)
