Using Peat Moss to Preserve Fish

mattbull writes "Some scandinavian scientists have taken a clue from the Vikings and discovered that packing fish with peat moss can keep it fresh for up to two years. They also think they've isolated the sugar in the moss that gives it its preservative properties. What do we have to do to get some of those bogs in the States? I don't have thousands of years to wait." Hey, Kipling knew this a long time ago.
