The Árbæjarsafn museum in Reykjavík is one of my favorites. It is a historical museum built around the Árbær farm. The farm which was a traditional turf roof house had been abandoned for years when the city decided to open it as an open air museum. The farm was restored and old buildings from around the country that have had to be removed due to changing times have found a place in Árbæjarsafn. All of these houses are open to the public in the summer and occasionally in the winter. You will see Icelandic teenagers playing traditional roles in the houses as their summer jobs.

Plokkfiskur is awesome especially with dark Icelandic rye bread. You can also make it from left overs of fish and potatoes. Typically Icelanders eat fish on Mondays and might make plokkfiskur from the left overs on Tuesday. I like to add some sliced cheese the fish.

Halló, this is Iceland.

Many of friends are curious about my people’s traditional food.

In this short plokkumentary, my friend Margrét (who is an Icelandic mother-in-law) shows you how to make plokkfiskur with your hands. Then you can eat it with your mouth.

(It is good for you.)

See you soon,
