How It's Made: Traditional Icelandic Dried Fish

[@raystuarts]

Valur & Polly, remain deeply missed :(

[@TheMilkMan8008]

What happened to them?

[@beckybetter]

Valur and Polly. I miss them sooooo much. They really such good ambassadors for Iceland. So warm and personal!

[@hjordistorfa]

There is nothing like Harðfiskur.. I miss Icelandic food.. Thank you kindly for sharing 💕✌️

[@colleenpye9140]

Looks very tasty. Thanks for delightful video. Repeat viewing for me.

[@heartwings2517]

I really miss Valur and Polly too. They taught me so much about Iceland!!! I came by to see if maybe they are back. It's not the same. I like fish a lot, but somehow that dried fish does not look very tasty. If I ever get to Iceland I will try it, it may taste better than it looks.

[@davalpe]

I'm sorry, but without Valur and Polly it's just not the same.

[@Phil_Vaughan]

But you're still here, why is that?🤔

[@kittwilliams1974]

@@Phil_Vaughan We are hoping they come to their senses and bring them back. Valur needs to start his own channel.

[@dannyvandenbergh8108]

They are simply irreplaceable ...

[@peterginsburg2465]

@@Phil_Vaughan Just checking in to see if Polly and Valur might do a guest appearance. Nope. Oh well, maybe some day.

[@dainjohnson2596]

Awesome! We'll be in Iceland in a couple of months, I'll have to try them!

[@Ayelet.M]

I miss the news content as well 😢

[@doinafred3049]

Valur and Paula are part of Iceland History. Sad their wonderful show was cancelled. We all miss Valur ' s presentations ; we learned do much about this mysterious country. May be you can bring back Valur +Paula. God bless .

Looking at this because I could happily eat only hardfiskur the rest of my life. Just straight from the bag, no butter needed. My only criticism is that there is no way on Earth the piece shown at 4:30 min is part of the process they are showing. Stuffing fish in molds cannot the only way to do it as there are many options of entire fish fillets.

[@Jasper1913iii]

I am curious about the 1st minute -- the traditional method. Can I find more about that?

[@redneckhippy2020]

looks very tasty, i'll have to see if I can order it online.

[@jennieterblanche9148]

Awesome. I was thinking of starting a cod dried product in South Africa, but I will have to begin without machinez and a factory and without funds. Your process is perfect. I make chicken biltong which is a spiced dried chicken product.

[@harrisonofthenorth]

Goodness, a 100g packet of hardfiskur is advertised in the UK at £68.40, does anyone have another UK supplier?

[@junegurney7463]

This channel has gone to more like a documentary which is good for those who enjoy documentaries. I so miss the personal touch and Valurs zest for what he did. Last but not least, I miss our beautiful Polly. 😢

[@davidlewis6015]

Great little video,is this a very popular snack?and does it get sold overseas?

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

You can buy it from Shop.Grapevine.is :)

[@avalynn0022]

Where in Valur ???? Flavorless content

[@illbeback2YT]

I like this video. It was informative and well presented. Good quality camerawork. But I do miss the personal touch by a host guiding us in every video. There is hardly a personal connection anymore between the channel's video's and the fanbase that was used to the old format. Now, the channel has become superficial, at a distant, while we used to hugging the older vids...

[@mateuszQRDL]

This would be my only snack if I only had the money. Of course, if you take into account how much fish there actually is in a 200g package and how much energy+time is required to dry it, the price becomes reasonable. But still...

A Tip For Visitors In Iceland: Try Dried Fish With Butter, Trust Me, It’s Delicious!!

[@ucheemmanuel3915]

Im interested to buy this fish in bulk im from Nigeria living in Spain...

[@starlightflores]

I don't like fish, however, these actually look delicious. Love the snacks for pets. Do you sell in the USA? Thank you

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

We can ship it to you from Shop.Grapevine.is :)

[@elizabethlascurain5294]

How do you eat them? With salt, lemon, chili powder? It’s something that I’d like to try!!

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

Icelanders eat it slathered thick with butter - but your idea sounds really tasty, too.

[@ohyouwillnot]

Why haven’t you shared that the bulk of your product goes to the black market in Africa?

[@SheldonT.]

Low in fat. That's why you gotta butter 'em up good :)

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

Exactly!

[@WhiteTiger333]

Oh, haha - I was waiting for the fish to be hung up to dry. Of course, there would be a modern factory. I see the fish snacks in the Grapevine store. Haven't decided if I want to get them, yet. The fish is not cooked and I don't normally like raw fish. But maybe, being dried, they would be the same as cooked.

I cannot see the background., the words take over the screen.

[@ИванМуравский-с2о]

So, you don't season it at all? No salt? That's interesting. Dried fish is very common in Russia and in most post USSR countries I think. But almost every time it is seasoned with salt. That's a shame I haven't tried hardfiskur in Iceland though I've been there twice

[@karolw.5208]

Give us Valur and Polly back!

[@TheMilkMan8008]

What happened?

[@karolw.5208]

They were fired a year ago or more.@@TheMilkMan8008
