Hákarl (Shark Meat) (Iceland)




 

Hákarl is Iceland's national dish made from dried shark meat, namely Greenland shark and other sharks. The meat is first fermented for up to three months, then hung and left to dry for another four to five months.

The dish comes in two flavors: the chewy, reddish glerhákarl and the soft, white skyrhákarl. It is often considered food for the brave because its high ammonia content often makes people tick.

Cured shark meat is typically cut into cubes and served with an accompanying local drink known as brennivin.
