Nordseekrabben, scientifically known as Crangon crangon, are a variety of small shrimps that inhabit the North Sea off the coasts of Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Known by various names in Germany, including nordseegarnelen or porre, these shrimps are recognizable for their brownish or gray color as well as their tender flesh, which is said to have a distinctively sweet, mildly spicy, and delicate flavor. Commonly referred to as brown shrimps, the shrimps have five pairs of thoracic legs and no pincers, and besides burrowing in sand, they have also developed an ability to change their coloration when avoiding predators. Considered a seafood delicacy, these succulent and crispy shrimps are typically enjoyed tucked in bread rolls or in a rye sandwich, paired with fresh salads and spicy dressings. They are also used in the preparation of a variety of decadent, yet elegant cocktails. Peeled and frozen nordseekrabben are regularly available in most supermarkets across the country.Expand

Smoked halibut is a prized ingredient in traditional Danish cuisine that is characterized by its tender, but firm texture, and a deep, smoky flavor. It is usually prepared with Greenland halibut, a variety that is well-suited for smoking. The fish is primarily salted and marinated before it is slowly dried, usually over beech wood. Served sliced, it is often used as a topping on open-faced smørrebrød sandwiches, and it perfectly pairs with various vegetables, creamy spreads, and fresh vegetables.Expand

Lumpfish roe is one of the more available roe varieties, and it is usually reasonably priced. It is harvested from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), which is mostly found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. The natural color of the roe can vary, though it is usually pale gray or dusty pink. However, most producers opt for artificial coloring to attain appealing red or black hues. The beads are small, mildly-flavored, briny, and subtly sweet. Lumpfish roe is an excellent addition to appetizers, salads, soups, or seafood-based main dishes. The major producers of lumpfish caviar are Denmark, Germany, Iceland, and Sweden, while the main importing countries are France, Germany and the United States of America. Expand
