Toast Skagen is an elegant combination of prawns and other ingredients on a small piece of sautéed bread. When you really want to celebrate something, be extravagantly generous with the whitefish roe. The sprig of dill on the top serves as a fanfare.Named after a fishing port at the northern tip of Denmark, toast Skagen is typically served as a starter at Swedish dinner parties. It was created by the popular Swedish restaurateur Tore Wretman. More than anyone else, he embraced Swedish culinary traditions during the decades immediately after World War II. At a time when home cooking was starting to fade away and be replaced by foreign fast food, he also elevated classic Swedish dishes into fancy restaurant repertoire, lending them new status.
