What does hakarl taste like?
It has a very strong ammonia-like odor, but the taste is actually quite friendly to the palate; it is sweet, nutty, savory, and only a bit fishy. Due to the high ammonia content, first-time kæstur hákarl eaters usually will gag involuntarily, so it is sometimes advised to pinch your nose while trying it [Though usually that's just for the weak. ;) ]. Usually after taking a bite of hákarl, people chase it with a shot of Brennivín, a type of Icelandic schnapps. This immediately cuts the ammonia flavor, and actually complements the subtle tones of the shark. Kæstur hákarl is a very strong-tasting dish, and I would not personally recommend it for beginners in exotic foods. But if you really want a true taste of Iceland, this is definitely on the list of traditional Icelandic foods. Good luck!
