Culinary Adventures: Iceland

It really wouldn't be my blog if I didn't say something about the food. Before I came to Iceland I wasn't very excited about my culinary prospects, after all The Iceland Top 10: Food listed a hot dog vendor. Anthony Bourdain described hákarl (a national favorite, petrified shark) "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing" he had ever eaten.

Icelandic Seafood

What was pleasantly unanticipated was the abundance of seafood. On the day we arrived, we devoured a lobster pizza. 

Traditional Icelandic Lamb Stew

Was not a disappointment and would definitely keep you warm during a long Icelandic winter.

A Culinary Experience 

As Sam made mention in Adventures in Icelandia, we made friends with 3 Swedish Orthodontists. They recommended a fish place near the harbor (without a name) that had kabobs of fresh fish and seafood that they would grill for you. So on our last day in Iceland we went exploring and finally found the mythical Sægreiffin. We had fresh Altlantic Cod, shrimp, scallops and whale meat. Even Sam enjoyed the whale meat.
