This is a joke, right ?

Afraid not? Unless it's a joke played on tourists. I had the rotten shark on a trip there a few years back. It required a Brennivín chaser.

Nope, it's real. I think that there's good shark and bad shark, actually. The cheap, common kind is probably more of a novelty / "shock" food, but I assume that there's proper shark to be had. It's highly likely that it's an acquired taste in any form, but I'd try to get "proper" shark if you're coming over here. Something from Vestfirðir I'd guess, and stay clear of the stuff that comes in little plastic buckets. Otherwise, I'd say that Brennivín mouthwash is mandatory. All in all, it helps to think of rotten shark in the same manner you'd regard very ripe cheese, potency being the sought-after quality. Is rotten, coagulated cow juice all that different from rotten, decomposing bits of shark?

There are significantly more tame items on the typical "þorramatur" table. Harðfiskur, for example, is much more palatable than shark, I suggest you try it. Harðfiskur is basically fish jerky. (It's not as "fishy" as you'd think.) Kristleifur 17:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Circular reference

The web page - http://en.lorefans.com/article_%C3%9Eorramatur - draws it content directly from wikipedia, and hence we have a circular reference.
