Kaplakriki is a traditional Icelandic dish made from fermented shark, known as hákarl. The shark is buried in the ground for several months to ferment, then hung to dry for several more months. This unique preparation process gives Kaplakriki its strong flavor and distinctive smell. Often served in small cubes, Kaplakriki is typically accompanied by brennivín, a type of Icelandic schnapps. It is considered a delicacy in Iceland and is often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, especially during festivals or cultural events. The dish reflects Iceland's history of preserving food in harsh climates.
