22 September: The night before we had to fly back to Japan in a hurry, we had a chance for a relaxing and delicious dinner at Sjávarkjallarinn (Seafood Cellar) with our friends grétar and Óskar. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to sort and upload the photos from the evening for 2 months, and can't remember all the ingredients and other details of each dish. (And of course they have a new menu now, so consulting their website didn't help.) Still, here they are. I do remember it was all very good quality food & service.
In the bar area at the front, they have a blue fish tank with exotic fish swimming around Veuve bottles :-)	While waiting for our food, they brought us these tiny appetizers of smoked eel in spicy salsa. Nice.
And bread came with a soy/sesame oil mixture, as well as an interesting peanut/oriental herb mix.	Óskar's starter, Thai seafood soup with prawn spring roll.
I *had* to have this lightly seared Hamachi starter - and it was a good choice. (I think the creamy stuff was Skyr.)	Grétar had an interesting starter of pumpking mousse with some other veggie ingredients - looked (and apparently tasted) like a dessert!
His salt fish main course. (It's sweet tamari sauce in the little bamboo thing. I don't think we needed that.)	Greedy and indecisive me went for the "Fantastic Four", a selection of different fish from their menu - salmon, tuna, salt fish and arctic char.
And Óskar had a vegetarian dish - just don't ask me what it was!	And now, the visual highlight of the evening. During our dinner, we saw some Americans, a few tables away, having an ice cream dish which came with a lot of smoke ice - and the guy at the next table said "welcome to Iceland!" So we *had* to have the same thing, of course!

Yes, it was a very nice evening indeed. It was a few days before the Krona crashed, so it wasn't that cheap, but it was worth it... :-)
