Reykjavik Fish Restaurant
I'm British and you can't get much more British than fish and chips or so I thought. Turns out it's quite popular in Iceland as well! I first noticed it in my guidebook, there were a few suggested shops to go to including Reykjavik Fish, the one I went to.
The restaurant was nautical themed because it's right by the harbour, from the window you had the view of the snowed covered mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The tables were good, they had a map of the city on. I didn't know what to expect, was it going to be like British fish and chips or something totally different?
Well I can tell you the fish was better, way better. Probably because it was fresh that day, it just fell to pieces and the batter was incredibly crispy and light. You don't get that in the UK it's nearly always frozen and the batter is soggy!The chips were nothing spectacular they were fries more than chips and I'm guessing they were frozen. They we tasty none the less but you'd paid for the fish.

It cost me 1,980 kr, so £10. Everything out here is so expensive but again it was worth it. If you were in a restaurant at home they would charge the same amount and it wouldn't be half as good!
If your in the area I recommend you try here!
