12 Things make Norway unique

Norway is known for exporting and eating a lot of salmon. They love salmon so much that if you’re feeling especially great, then a Norwegian might adoringly call you “en glad laks” – a happy salmon.  The Norwegian salmon industry is worth $5.3 billion, so salmon really does make them happy. Traditionally, salmon is eaten smoked or cured, called røkelaks and gravlaks in Norwegian.Salmon is also pan-fried and often served with boiled potatoes and a creamy sauce. It can’t go unmentioned either that Norway actually “invented” salmon sushi by exporting Norwegian salmon to Japan – thanks, Norway!
