Lutefisk impresario grows Norway cod into Minnesota tradition
Richard Mike Field, importer and processor in Glenwood, Minnesota, runs Mike's Fish and Seafood Inc. drying, soaking in lye to create lutefisk for distributors across Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin. He handles 150,000 to 180,000 pounds yearly, produced from Bergen cod and shipped in 50-pound boxes and 125-pound barrels. Field stages processing from Sept 1 to Feb 1, emphasizes lye method, and notes lutefisk is a winter tradition tied to Christmas and church suppers, with preparation tips and price parity with ground beef.
