Whales
The other day I walked down to the Reykjavik habor, where I found a small fish store/restaurant called Sægreifinn (the Sea Baron). Inside they had a few benches and a case full of fish skewers. Along with the usual choices (salmon, haddock, etc) that you could chose and give to the women to cook, they also had Minke whale. While I’m all for trying new meats (for instance, I had raw horse sashimi in Japan), I decided I didn’t want to encourage Iceland’s increased whaling. In the end I went to Hamborgarabúllan right near by, where I had a wonderful burger and enjoyed Johnny Cash on the stereo while sitting in the corner next to a Johnny Cash poster.
