"You have no legs - you're a fish! You can't flop your way there!"
When Svensk Fisk (Swedish Fish) enthusiastically tells his best friend, Elsa Fisk, about his strange idea to leave their home in the Baltic Sea to travel into the middle of Sweden, Elsa is perplexed.
"But Sweden is a country. It's on land! How do you expect to breathe?" she responds. "Besides, you have no legs - you're a fish! You can't flop your way there!"
Nevertheless, Elsa reluctantly agrees to join Svensk Fisk on his journey. Along the way, they visit various fun and exciting places as they try to figure out how to travel inside Sweden. They also encounter a few strange and tense situations, but despite these challenges, their adventure contains an inspiring message and concludes with a sweet surprise.

Svensk Fisk (the character on whom the book is named) is an easy-going fish who always wears a smile and a dapper bow tie. He is willing to try anything, but he is not without fear, and he has a habit of putting himself into uncomfortable situations.
