My favorite Icelandic foods so far:
• smoked lamb and pepper cream-cheese on crackers
• lobster soup (their lobsters are quite small, more like large crayfish)
• skyr (like a thick yogurt, purportedly low-fat but very rich)
• traditional lamb soup (lamb, cabbage and carrots in broth served with lots of bread)
I confess to eating lamb on my south coast trip while adorable little lambs were cavorting outside in the field... So far I have avoided hakarl, traditional fermented shark that is supposed to taste and smell foul and stay with you for a week or more. No thanks. I have dried dried fish—as expected, it was dry and tough and fishy. Not bad, but not something I would seek out again.
