Unrelated clarification but, judging by the lutefisk, the shop owner is actually Norwegian and not Swedish.

Just a heads up so you don't make the mistake in less forgiving Scandinavian company next time ;-)

What’s the differences between lutfish in Norway and Sweden? I’ve eaten it in southern Sweden with it presented to me as traditionally Swedish.

The main difference is that Swedes spell it Lutfisk and Norwegians Lutefisk. Lutfish is just as traditional and (un)popular in both Norway and Sweden, and as far as I can tell the base recipe is basically the same in both countries. The only difference between the regions are the condiments and side dishes it is served with.

I think Norwegians make it from cod, while Swedes (and we Finns) use ling.
