Oh, did I really forget to post this from my trip to Iceland: The Sequel. Well, there’s this little restaurant in Reykjavik’s old harbor close to the city’s center called Sægreifinn or The Sea Baron. They serve whale (minke), smoked eel, and variety of soups. My favorite is the lobster soup, considered the world’s greatest, concocted of a secret recipe which Kjartan, the proprietor/master chef/retired fisherman will never disclose. Try it if you happen to be in town.
