Originaly it’s called Fiskegrateng in Norway, but in translation it means Mac & Cheese with fish.
This is a traditional Norwegian meal, served for dinner. It’s healthy, and kids would beg you to serve them fish for dinner. And if they ask for Mac & Cheese make this. I used to love it as kid, and even pick it as my birthday dinner every year.
