Rotted Shark and Minke Whale on a Reykjavk Food Tour

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

youll join Valur and me at just one of seven stops during an evening filled with edible memories. This stop highlights some traditional foods. After some tasty Icelandic lobster (langoustine) soup, I try minke whale and Valur explains why Icelanders have no guilt about hunting them. Next up, its the notorious rotted shark, which smells like old cheese with ammonia. but is better than poison. (Its best to wash it down with the local firewater, a. k. a. black death) Much of Icelands cuisine certainly is all about survival

Im usually up for trying food of different locations, but I think Ill pass on the rotten shark. I will try the whale and lobster though. Keepin on travelin and love to see people holding traditions in place while also doing it with respect to the eco system. Limiting hunting is one way to do that

Tried the rotten shark at an interesting museum run by an elderly gentleman on the Snaefellsness Peninsula. Had whale in Norway.
Actually not that bad.
