Yeah, I had a good chuckle when I read that the author ate the thing as-is. Someone should have told him that you're supposed to gut them, remove the bones and put the results fillets on tunnbröd or eat them with potatoes. As for the taste, it's mostly just very salty. You can perhaps compare it with pickled herring, which doesn't taste very much either (apart from the pickling itself).
