I would favor fish Mon Sep 26 18:16:18 -0700 2005 0 Bud 1 1407196 Tony Boudain just did a whole show on Iceland on the Travel Channel. His show is called "No Reservations" and he eats at several restaurants and tries all the local foods (He is a chef and his show focuses on food). Maybe you can catch a rerun if you have not already seen it. Mon Sep 26 18:23:26 -0700 2005 1407195 0 CindyC 1 1407202 I was in Iceland in 2002 and can't remember any of the restaurants I ate in. However, I do remember eating a hot dog from a street vendor which was very good. The thread that I linked to below also talks about the hot dogs in Reykjavik. I recall that there were fried onions or potatoes or something good on top of them, they are definitely worth a try for a snack or light meal. Dave M.P.

They taste best around 3 in the morning after sampling the famous Reykjavik nightlife.
