Atlantic Cod
Atlantic Cod is probably the most popular and common type of saltwater fish in the world, second only to salmon. You might have cod because it's available in stores all around the world, but the one fished or farmed in the Atlantic Ocean is the healthiest. Icelandic cod may consume a lot of good seafood and grow rather large because of the Atlantic Ocean's rich marine life. As a result, they don't have many natural predators, allowing them to grow quickly and naturally.
Fresh fish is available on the menus of all Icelandic restaurants, and many of them also serve "catch of the day," which may be cod. Matur og drykkur, a restaurant in Reykjavik that prides itself on preserving traditional Icelandic food, also serves codhead, a centuries-old delicacy. This does not appear to be as frightening as it sounds. The codhead is being grilled for 40 minutes and has a lot of tender, rich meat to enjoy.
