Answer 1

Maybe you can make a Rémoulade

"In Denmark it is an essential ingredient on the Danish open-face roast beef sandwiches, along with roasted onion. Remoulade is also used for breaded fillets of fish (e.g. cod or plaice), on danish hot dogs, along with mustard, ketchup, onions and pickles, and it is one of the most commonly-used sauces in which to dip french fries. Danish remoulade is also very popular in Sweden and Norway, but there mostly for fish with boiled potatoes, dill and perhaps creamed spinach. In many German and Swedish hot dog stands it is possible to order a "Danish hot dog" served as described above. "

1cup (250 ml) mayonnaise
1 Tbs (15 ml) finely chopped dill pickle
1 Tbs (15 ml) chopped capers
1 Tbs (15 ml) Dijon mustard
1 Tbs (15 ml) chopped parsley
1/2 tsp (2 ml) chopped fresh tarragon, chervil, or chives
1/2 tsp (2 ml) anchovy paste (optional)

Combine all ingredients and stir to mix well. Serve chilled. Makes about 1 1/4 cups (310 ml).

Answer 2

how about adding a shot of Scandanavian or swedish vodka to the cocktail sauce.. I'm sure it will have a uniqe but good twist on the taste..

Answer 3

In Sweden, they use pickled herring in everything. Maybe serving it with a pickled herring on the side? (Herring is a fish.)
