Top 9 Must-Try Foods in Iceland
Iceland’s robust fishing and aquaculture industries play a major role in the local diet and economy. The surrounding fisheries are aboutseven times the sizeof the landmass itself, and if you’re ordering Arctic charr anywhere in the world, it likely originated from Iceland’s waters. The country leads global production of this species, and there’s nothing quite like indulging in a fresh piece of Atlantic salmon, Atlantic cod, or charr right from its source. Today, Icelanders consume nearly 50kg of seafood per person annually, as reported by theUN’s Food and Agriculture Organization— that’s over 100 pounds per person, enjoyed approximately twice per week.
