Hákarl is a traditional Icelandic food made from fermented Greenland shark. The fresh shark meat is poisonous. It is buried with stones to press out fluids and left to ferment for weeks, then hung to dry for months. This process removes the poison and makes it safe to eat. It has a strong ammonia smell and fishy taste. People eat it in small cubes, sometimes with a drink called brennivín. Greenland sharks grow very slowly. They can live up to 400 years and reach sexual maturity around 150 years. Because of this and overfishing, their populations recover very slowly. The species is considered vulnerable, and hunting is unsustainable. Conservation groups are calling for protections to prevent the Greenland shark from becoming extinct. 🦈🇮🇸🥃 [Read more] @googlefactss #Hákarl#Iceland#FermentedShark#TraditionalFood#FoodFacts#GreenlandShark#Conservation
