We visited a small fish shop in Haugenes, a very small village on a fjord in the north of Iceland.
The owner is the third generation to operate the fish shop. He gave us an excellent -- and often humorous -- history and explanation of the ways in which cod fishing has changed in Iceland over the years.
His brother carved a cod in front of us while the owner explained the process and were the best markets for each part of a cod. Nothing is wasted! Nigerians love soup from the head.
His brother went out back and returned to show off a 50 pound cod he had caught two days earlier.
The visit ended when the owner carved out a cod eye and went to show it to one of the guests on our trip.

Ha. Funny guy.
Wow, what an impressive Cod fish. Hope you could go out for a Cod lunch after this tour.
Quite an experience.
