Recommendations

"And the Hakarl actually wasn’t as terrible as I expected. I survived at least…"
"Islenski Barinn is a funky little restaurant with really good food. The fish and chips were especially good!"
"Imagine cheese that’s about a month old, with the texture of a raw, meaty fish. There was nothing wrong with the shark; it wasn’t unpleasant."
"Maybe it was the expectation, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s bad. Just not deathly horrible."
"Like I said, it’s not for everyone – even most Icelanders cringe at the thought. I, however, love it. Some say it tastes like a strong french cheese and I think it’s a perfect snack with your beer, or better still, your shot of Brennivín."
"If you have a taste for something that smells like it came from the cleaning aisle in the supermarket, then this is definitely for you."
