Iceland's Dolphin Meat & Other Exotic Bites

🇮🇸 "Where else can you eat the national bird and whale in one meal?" 🏠 Restaurant: Íslenski Barinn 📍 43W8+QP5, Ingólfsstræti 1a, Reykjavík ⚫ Blacklist: Shark Edition 🦈 Fermented Shark (Hákarl) "Please, spare yourself!"Tastes like ammonia-soaked rubber with a side of regret. Dried shark beside it? Just bland fish jerky (not even crispy). 🔴 Redlist: Adventure Approved 🐋 Grilled Whale Steak Texture = rare beef or blue steak Served with creamy mash & onion rings—surprisingly harmonious!Controversial but tasty (whaling is legal but debated in Iceland). 🦌 Reindeer Meatballs Gamey yet mild—"know it’s meat but can’t pinpoint which." 🐧 Puffin (Yes, the National Bird) "Tastes like chicken?" Nope—more like lean duck with zero distinct flavor. Verdict:For bragging rights only—most meats are meh except whale. Skip the shark unless you’re filming a dare video #Íslenski Barinn# Reykjavík#Iceland#food#food diary#Dolphin Meat
