Chef here, always up for a culinary challenge. Haven't tried Hákarl yet, but it's on my bucket list – along with Surströmming and Casu Marzu. Can't wait to brew up some strong reactions at my next dinner party!

Man, I had a piece of Hákarl once and instantly felt my soul leaving my body. The smell, it invaded my nostrils like an inescapable demon. And the taste, oh the taste, it's like kissing death on the mouth. If you ever feel the need to reset your palate, give it a go. Just remember, I warned you!

Here's some trivia for ya. Did you know that the Greenland shark, the type used to make Hákarl, is poisonous when fresh? The fermentation process actually removes the toxins in the flesh making it safe, albeit odorous, to eat. People have been eating this for centuries! I guess each to his own, huh?

Rotten... shark.. meat? And people enjoy it? Decidedly hard pass for me, folks. 😧

Just stumbling across this as an Icelandic native. Hákarl is actually a delicacy here. You can't truly understand it till you've tried it for yourself. It's a tradition - a rite of passage even. Yes, it stinks to high heaven but there's something one-of-a-kind about its taste that just hits differently.

Hákarl is an experience, man! But like any fermented morsel it's an acquired taste. Anyone who can't handle its intense flavor should stick to your run-of-the-mill sandwiches. Leave the fun to us adrenaline-chasers.

Dude, why the hate for soyboys? We can handle crazy food adventures too. Might even try this rotten shark stuff. At least it's cruelty-free...right? 😅

Had me some of that Hákarl last year. Heck, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger, right? At least that's what I kept telling myself while I tried not to yak! 😂
