A small fish restaurant tucked into a residential street, with old photos and fishing gear on the walls. The plates are what Icelanders cook at home. The signature is plokkfiskur, a mash of fish and potato in a creamy sauce; here it comes with curry spice and a grilled cheese crust, with dark rye bread. Whale and sea bird are on the menu too, and whether to order them is your call.
