i have been eating this stuff since i was a little toddler,ITS RIPE NOT ROTTEN it´s not quite the same,to take the posion out it is Fermented plus when you see this video,the disscusting out side part is trimmd of,and the white meat inside is what is eaten,

if you were icelander,you would not say stuff like this you arrogan and ignorant A Hole,

Nobody said shit too you and you insult Icelanders for ther tradition,Fuck you man,this has been going on for hundreds of years

[PianoXfan1]

@kiddalingur Im not ignorant... Just logical. Explain to me the logic behind eating something thats rotten. Please go ahead. Don't feed me the shit that its 'different' and 'good eatin' because 1. I doubt you have ever eaten it and 2. I doubt you actually would, given the opportunity.

@sk8iceland4ever at first people dont like it but u get used to it as you eat it and the cover of the shark is bad but the inside is diffrent and thats what we love about it

[Morales148]

[MonkeymagicsMum]

Did you know that 66% of Icelanders are bastards? No really, only one third of Icelanders are born in wedlock. Just thought you may be interested.

That shark meat is not "rotten" but riped. A big difference.

[hackforloser]

I do believe It's a tradition to test yourself, your strength.

Not a delicacy.
