FISH CANDY
 

Swedish fish came to America in the 1950s from you know where. Don’t worry: The candies taste fruity, not fishy. Another Nordic treat is Finland’s Dusted Fish Licorice, which are both sweet and salty. Shane Confectionery, 110 Market St., 215.922.1048, shanecandies.com

FRIED OYSTERS AND CHICKEN SALAD
 

In the 18th Century, fried oysters and chicken salad made sense. Taverns served cheap oysters with a side of chicken, then a luxury. Oyster House still offers this winning combo. Oyster House, 1516 Sansom St., 215.567.7683, oysterhousephilly.com
