Jackpot at the FiskeKrogern

Jeff talked us into going to the FiskeKrogern tonight. That roughly translates to "fish restaurant" but boy is that an understatement. Here is what I had:

a glass of fine Australian shiraz to start
seared Ahi Tuna with a mango chutney (a complimentary starter)
a selection of fresh bread
north sea shrimp with cocktail and garlic sauce accompanied with aged cheeses
oyster soup served with scallops wrapped in pancetta
baked cod stuffed with smoked eel in a lemon herb sauce with a side of potato croquettes
French Chablis to accompany the meal
Pedro Jimenez 1971 Sherry for dessert

It was the best meal we've had. Exceptional service, great atmosphere, perfect portion sizes so you don't have to waddle home (as is the case in the US).

I also found a bit of office humor at work today. They have 3 coffee machines at work, each one with a different type of coffee in it. There's FranksRosting (French Roast), ItalysRosting (Italian Roast), and MellanRostning (Medium Roast). Next to the three coffee machines there is a water cooler. On this water cooler, some wise guy Swede has placed the label "Amerikansk Rostning" (American Roast).
