Shark Dinner

Every country has a unique food item that every visitor should experience at least once, and in Iceland, that distinctive dish is known as Hakarl, essentially a fermented shark.

Hakarl is crafted by decapitating a shark, burying it underground for roughly three months, and subsequently allowing it to air-dry under the sun. It’s a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Icelandic culture, often enjoyed with unsweetened schnapps by the locals. Whether you’re glad to know about it or not, trying Hakarl is undoubtedly an adventurous culinary experience for those who visit Iceland.
