How It's Made: Traditional Icelandic Dried Fish

Have you ever wondered how the traditional Icelandic snack harðfiskur is made? wonder no more! We went to the source, Jóhannes at Von Iceland, for the story of how Iceland's beloved dried fish was made in the olden days and how it's made today.

WHO ARE WE?

Valur & Polly, remain deeply missed :(

Valur and Polly. I miss them much. They really such good ambassadors for Iceland. So warm and personal!

There is nothing like Harðfiskur.. I miss Icelandic food.. Thank you kindly for sharing 💕✌️

[heartwings]

I really miss Valur and Polly too. They taught me so much about Iceland!!! I came by to see if maybe they are back. It's not the same. I like fish a lot, but somehow that dried fish does not look very tasty. If I ever get to Iceland I will try it, it may taste better than it looks.

Looks very tasty. Thanks for delightful video. Repeat viewing for me.

I'm sorry, but without Valur and Polly it's just not the same.

Love the sound that they make when their hanging and drying.

Valur and Paula are part of Iceland History. Sad their wonderful show was cancelled. We all miss Valur ' s presentations ; we learned do much about this mysterious country. May be you can bring back Valur +Paula. God bless .

Awesome! We'll be in Iceland in a couple of months, I'll have to try them!

I like this video. It was informative and well presented. Good quality camerawork. But I do miss the personal touch by a host guiding us in every video. There is hardly a personal connection anymore between the channel's video's and the fanbase that was used to the old format. Now, the channel has become superficial, at a distant, while we used to hugging the older vids...

Awesome. I was thinking of starting a cod dried product in South Africa, but I will have to begin without machinez and a factory and without funds. Your process is perfect.
I make chicken biltong which is a spiced dried chicken product.

This channel has gone to more like a documentary which is good for those who enjoy documentaries. I so miss the personal touch and Valurs zest for what he did. Last but not least, I miss our beautiful Polly. 😢

looks very tasty, i'll have to see if I can order it online.

Great little video, is this a very popular snack?and does it get sold overseas?

[Jasperiii]

I am curious about the 1st minute -- the traditional method. Can I find more about that?

[harrisonofthenorth]

Goodness, a 100g packet of hardfiskur is advertised in the UK at £68.40, does anyone have another UK supplier?

[mateuszQRDL]

This would be my only snack if I only had the money. Of course, if you take into account how much fish there actually is in a 200g package and how much energy+time is required to dry it, the price becomes reasonable. But still...

[jakebailey]

Does anyone know the company name of the dryer used in this video for the fish? I’m curious if any companies make smaller dryers to accomplish the same type of product.

Where in Valur ???? Flavorless content

I don't like fish, however, these actually look delicious. Love the snacks for pets. Do you sell in the USA?
Thank you
