I guess it would depend on the sauce. But the actual fish is
different, too. I note that the method described above seems to cook
the fish in the heat of the sauce (or are we being imprecise here?),
and then the dried cod used for lutefisk isn't salted. But the
presentation for lutefisk is fairly close to this. There's actually a
recipe for what is pretty clearly lutefisk in Sabina Welserin.

Please forgive me; this is a necessary formality. But were you a bad
Ciorstan this year? Were you naughty or nice?
