The humble cod just got trendy. Icelandic Fish & Chips, a self-styled ‘organic bistro’ by
Reykjavík’s harbor, has garnered a loyal following since it opened in 2006. It’s obvious what
this simple eatery, with both eat-in and take-away service, features on its menu. But it’s the
details that make it so popular. The fish itself, not just cod but catfish, haddock, plaice or
whatever the fisherman has just hauled in, is battered in spelt and barley flour and cooked in
canola oil, rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. The chips are Maldon-salted wedges of baked pota-
toes, cooked in olive oil and herbs. And instead of fat-laden tartar sauce, patrons can choose
from a variety of skyronnaises—creamy dips made from Icelandic skyr. Those interested in a
larger meal will enjoy both whatever rich soup of the day is on offer (served with spelt bread
and hummus), and the whipped skyr and berry dessert, served in a champagne flute. This is
healthy, tasty food at a good price in a charming environment. 511-1118. fishandchips.is
