Icelandic Main Dishes
The food in Iceland was all good. We never had a bad meal. I’ll just give a sampling of some main dishes from different meals.
Fresh fish was our most frequently served main course. Below is fresh cod with a carmelized onion sauce. We also had salmon and arctic charr multiple times as well. This cod was served with mash potatoes with olives, and coleslaw. Our pre-meal snack was homemade Nan with tsiviki and salsa sauces. Dessert was lava cake with cherry sauce.
This was roast beef over mashed potatoes, mushrooms and other vegetables. Dinner started with broccoli soup. We had a green dinner salad along with caramel mousse for dessert.
This was beef tenderloin with baked potato, carrots, and celery root. Arctic Charr was our first course. Dessert was Icelandic cake with rhubarb, cinnamon, etc.
This was lamb with potatoes, mushrooms, and other vegetables. Lobster soup was our starter. Cheesecake was for dessert.
This was at lunch after our coastal walk on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. We had creamy seafood soup (lobster, fish, shrimp, etc) and homemade bread with fresh butter. Our dessert was fresh berries over skyrr (somewhat like yogurt).
I thought I would show you that we did indeed have some very nice weather in Iceland. It was nice enough to eat outside several times during our trip.
