Delicious! Breakfasts often include thick and creamy Icelandic skyr yoghurt with fresh berries, and spongy rye bread. For dinner, the lamb here is some of the best in the world because of the free-roaming and fresh air sheep enjoy. You’ll find it served in stews, soups and slow-roasted with vegetables. svið (sheep’s head) is a traditional Icelandic dish for adventurous eaters. Fish and seafood are Iceland’s main export and the seafood is incredible, from cod and salmon to mussels and lobsters. Look out for plokkfiskur, a hearty fish stew, and harðfiskur, dried fish (the local equivalent to beef jerky) which makes the perfect snack while you’re adventuring.
