Came here after noticing their sign on the highway. The museum itself is very small and is more about their family history of shark hunting than if the sharks themselves. Most of the museum pieces do not have descriptions so you are left to just admire them with no additional information. They do give a presentation which was very good. They explained about the sharks that they used to hunt and how they prepare the meat. However, the fee of 1800 seemed way too high for this museum. I would not recommend this museum, there are much better ones in Iceland.

A visit to the Shark Museum was part of our bus tour. Museum displays artifacts, boats and other items from when sharks were hunted for their skins and meat which required a certain marinating process to remove toxic substances. Now, the focus is to tell the history of shark hunting and to sample a small piece of marinated shark meat. More of a dare, but also provided with a shot of strong spirits and brown bread to down the shark sample. Behind the museum are chunks of shark meat in a curing shed. Something to brag about when you get home!!

Original museum sir fishing in Iceland, including the fishing of this shark from the deep, which is then preserved in the sand and then dried. Detailed explanation by an animator, videos and a dryer to visit, and a tasting accompanied by local alcohol. Interesting.

Interesting to learn about Icelandic customs and typical foods. Cute place, the price of the entrance ticket also includes a tasting. Honestly we expected much worse, it is edible, but the aftertaste it leaves is ammonia, so it should be accompanied with black bread or something to drink. No big deal.
