The top 10 food in Iceland which should be definitely on your list

1.) Skyr

The sky reminds me of the flight which was three and a half hours from Copenhagen to Keflavik. But it is indeed a truly refreshing superb fat -free food full of proteins. It is an amazing blend of plain, strawberry, blueberry, mango etc. it is served with milk which is truly delicious.

2.) Fermented shark meat

Though I don’t love shark, I was persuaded by some local sellers to try their authentic shark meat. It was quite salty, it is worth trying as Iceland’s authentic dish.

3.) Dried fish

Dried fish is sold everywhere in Iceland. So I stopped by to get myself one. It is truly rich in omega 3 and fused with vitamins and proteins. It is a perfect souvenir to carry as a healthy snack.

4.) Icelandic meat soup

Having a hot bowl of soup is most soothing in the freezing months of winter.  Every restaurant of Iceland offers the Icelandic meat soup. It is a tasteful broth made with veggies like carrots, potatoes, and lamb. It is truly comforting in winters.

5.) Smoked lamb

The smoked lamb is a must try when you are in Iceland. It is a traditional dish of Iceland, served on the Christmas eve in all restaurants. Though it is available in many restaurants throughout the year.

6.) Flatbread

If you are a vegetarian do not forget to taste the best flatbread. It is a mixture made of rye flour and whole wheat flour. It is served with some butter and you can add smoked lamb or smoked salmon. I had it with smoked lamb, it was truly soul relishing.

7.) Icelandic hot dog

This is the top favourite food in Iceland. It is indeed one of the best dishes I had in town. All tourists would truly love it.

8.) Breakfast in Iceland with Icelandic bakery

The bakery is true of world-class quality in Iceland. It is very common to have cocoa milk with bread in morning breakfast. This simple meal is so relishing and really gives a great start to the day.

9.) Licorice candy

It is very popular in the Nordic region. Iceland offers different flavoured candy which is perfect for my sweet tooth.

10.) The sheep’s head

This is a very popular dish in Iceland. Though I am not a big fan of having sheep I gave this dish a try as it is immensely popular in Iceland. It was a rare dish which tasted good, though I am not an ardent lover of sheep eater this dish surpassed my expectations.
