Fishheads 30kg

At Brjanslaekur the harbor is not only busy with travelers going on the ferry Baldur over the Breidafjordur bay, Þórður and his colleagues are also busy loading a big container with dry cod heads.

Dry cod has been exported from Iceland for a thousand years. For centuries it was Iceland's main export.

"The travelers going to the ferry sometimes comment on the smell of fish, but I tell them that's how money smells. It's all going to Nigeria, over there it's considered a delicacy. They use it as stock for soups and stews. I've tried it - it's tasty!"
