Ummmm, that's before we dump it into a vat of caustic lye for a half year to bring out the piquancy. After this, it's a jelly-like mush which had to be exempted by statute specifically in Wisconsin law from the hazardous substances regulations. Before this coup de grace, it is hard as a rock and flat as a pancake (resembling pretty much the dead fish your see dried to a yellow crisp on a beach), but at that point it's just dried cod, and not actually lutefisk.
