I can see why no one's favorite fact about Iceland is that their national dish is shark fermented in its own urea and then hung out to dry for months.
I mean I can see it back when they were Vikings, desperate to survive, but come on, Iceland. Move on from eating the dried pee sharks.
How the fuck did you collect the sharks urea? I see how it gets expensive... Lmao
Sharks don't really pee. It gets stored it in their body tissue instead. Part of the preperation of shark is essentially pressing it for weeks to bring out the ammonia and let it break down into something that won't kill you. Doesn't taste good, but won't kill you.
Damn I was planning a trip to Iceland this food got into my list but if u tell me it tastes shit I guess I would have to take it out ...
It isn't awful, but it isn't good either. Get a tub of it just to say you've tried it, but Iceland has much better "real" food on offer.
Thanks man I will split it with friends if it doesn't cost a kidney
