    Not expensive, but really lovely and informative experience about the most famous "Rotten Icelandic Shark/A.k.a Sleeping shark fermented in its own pee".

Definitely worth the visit, just don't forget to chase the shark meat with some bread!!!

    Small family museum, beautifully located, about the tradition of eating fermented shark. The family that owns the place has been fermenting shark for 400 years! Free tasting included in the entrance fee.
