I dare not try the sour and smelly Icelandic dried shark.

It’s true that those who rely on the mountains eat the mountains, and those who rely on the sea eat the sea. Geographical environmental factors often affect the eating habits of a region.

The ocean is unfathomable, and humans draw abundant food from the ocean.

Especially for people living in coastal areas, the most primitive way is to make a living by fishing.

As times change, many people begin to turn to other ways of making a living, but many ancient and traditional ocean delicacies have still been preserved.

In the country of Iceland, there is a kind of delicacy that is particularly popular, which is actually Icelandic dry shark.

It's sour and poisonous. You need to process it before eating. It turns out it's not ordinary meat, but shark meat.

There is a neurotoxin in its fish meat. If you eat fresh shark meat directly, you will be poisoned.

Icelanders discovered that these toxins can be degraded during natural fermentation.

Therefore, before eating Greenland shark meat, it needs to go through a long fermentation process.

First, you need to use fresh shark, then add various seasonings to it, and then put it in a box to ferment. When the time is mature, you can eat it.

Like most fermented foods, fermentation gives shark meat a special flavor, and the sourness is natural.

The first time they eat this kind of meat, most people can't accept it.

This kind of shark meat is also included in a museum that specializes in collecting all kinds of disgusting foods in the world.

Just smelling it makes me sick, and the taste is indescribable.

But once you get used to it, you'll discover how delicious it is.

When I first smelled it, there was a particularly foul smell, as if it had gone bad.

But having said that, for the locals, it is a rare delicacy. Not only can it be eaten directly, but it can also be grilled and eaten without any problem.

The taste of this kind of delicacy is very, very smelly, but many people like to eat it.

To be honest, we have never eaten dry shark in Iceland, because it is very difficult to buy here, and the price is also very expensive.

It's still hard for me to eat food like this.
