Prawn Cocktail (Toast Skagen)

Prawn Cocktail (Toast Skagen)

Toast Skagen is named after a fishing port at the northern tip of Denmark and is typically served as a starter at Swedish dinner parties. It was created by the popular Swedish restaurateur Tore Wretman who 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.
