What the creator captured
Mike Chen Clips & BEST Eats found the traditional mashed fish on rye to be the ultimate local comfort food, but was physically repulsed by the pungent, ammonia-like flavor of fermented shark. He was also deeply impressed by the intense smokiness of Icelandic lamb and the unique, toasty texture of the city's famous cinnamon rolls.
