Cuisine of Iceland
The traditional cuisine of Iceland is fresh, healthy, and unique.
The diet of Icelanders is centered on local, high-quality fish, meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables.
Due to the pristine cleanliness of Iceland, the food is also quite pure.
Most fish dishes in Iceland come from the Icelandic waters of the North Atlantic. Icelanders particularly favor haddock, plaice, herring, shrimp, and halibut. Iceland is also home to the best quality lamb in the world, due to the natural grazing habitat of the mountains.
There’s a wide range of cheeses, yogurts, and other milk products available. Top all that off with Iceland’s garden vegetables and fruits that are grown in geothermic greenhouses and you’ve got the raw materials of a delicious national cuisine!
