My family in Sweden has at least one surströmming party per year, as people orginally from Norrland are wont to do.
My Australian husband, MFM, has attended one of these... and eaten some surströmming to boot. I was so proud him: he didn't throw up even a little; which my sister's husband (Finnish/gotlänning) did his first time. On the other hand, MFM flatly refuses to even contemplate eating it ever again.
Oh man if I ever get stuck on death row I know what I will be ordering for my last meal now. You do still get a last meal right?
Speaking of last suppers, I am the person in the upper right of this picture [brentjeffreythomas.com] (Brent is an artist friend who asked me to pose for this picture). How weird is that??? (And no I am not Judas)

They serve a dipping sauce which turned my lips numb, which I'm told is the first sign of fugu poisoning.
