- To make the smoked mussels and cod, line an old wok with foil and add some wood chips. Place a wire rack on top and arrange the mussels and cod on top. Set the wood chips alight, and cover the wok with a lid or more foil. Leave for 10 minutes to cook through.
- Meanwhile, make the dill dressing by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, lay a crispbread on a plate and top with some flaked cod and picked mussels. Spoon over some of the dill sauce, then top with another crispbread. Add more smoked fish, then top with the pickled vegetables and herring. Repeat with the other crispbreads, seafood, dill sauce and pickles.
