The Sea House
Restaurant
Randulffs sea house, built in 1890, offers
an À la carte menu daily in June, July
and Agust. It provides an opportunity
to enjoy local delicacies like shark-meat,
dried fish, pickled herring, vegan hot dogs
and reindeer meatballs in remarkable
surroundings. The house preserves
many historic artefacts in an atmosphere
virtually unchanged from the time herring
fishing was the main occupation for many
inhabitants of Iceland‘s East fjords. The
restaurant was one of Lonely Planet‘s Top
Choices in 2015.
