Scandinavian fare is simple and hearty, featuring the abundant foods of the sea and making the best use of the limited foods produced on land. Scandinavian cooking often reflects the preservation methods of previous centuries.

Scandinavians still prepare a large variety of preserved foods and prefer their food salty.
