Tumble Swede is the Scandinavian restaurant popup side project of the Old Ballard Liquor Co. They’re bringing Scandinavian street food to Seattle this summer with booths at both Ballard Seafood Fest, July 9 & 10, and the Bite of Seattle, July 15-17. Serving up a variety of sandwiches and hot foods, the two Pacific herring specialties are a must-try. A Danish sandwich featuring coriander pickled herring and apple salad with a beet crème fraiche, or Lexi’s own take on a classic street food, smoked-then-fried herring served with mashed potatoes and cucumber vinaigrette. It may not feel like summer, but these herringlicious dishes are sure to warm your body and your soul!
Herring is good for more than one week each year. And to that end, even though Northwest Herring Week is behind us, one can still get plenty of herringliciousness around Seattle! Like this beautiful and unique plate from the aptly-named Art of the Table in Wallingford!
