Hakarl
So I finally tried it. Mr Thorarinsson's Dad came in from Iceland and brought this delicacy. It's shark meat that has been buried in gravel for up to six months and left to ferment (rot). It has the worst smell I've ever experienced...it's triple-bagged in my fridge and I can still smell it. The first thing I noticed when I put it in my mouth was the overwhelming taste of ammonia...horrible. At moments it wasn't too bad - it almost had a really strong goat cheese taste, but overall, it was just bad. I liken it to tuna that has marinated in urine and ammonia for a few weeks. I'm glad I finally got the opportunity to try it, but that is the last time. Check my picture for my facial reaction to the actual moment.
