The biggest and the most well known Swedish brand would be Abba (yes, the same name as of the well known pop group). They've got a great variety of fish and seafood products, and the quality is always good. I wouldn't be surprised to find them in the US as well. A favourite of mine is herring in mustard sauce, but most times I will also have another jar of a different taste/spicing. (When I've finished the herring, I will use the remainder of the mustard sauce for a few meals of spaghetti.)
