Salka - Husavik

On a chilly autumn day with a light drizzle falling, we were in need of a meal after a long journey and lots of exploring. Salka came to the rescue. We arrived early for dinner, but they kindly accommodated us at a table. The fish soup was excellent.

I've never experienced such a bad eating in the restaurant. to get the suppe from a frozen mix of seafood when behind the window they can see a harbour, it is somehow sad. I had fishing the day, the arctic char fish was very similar to...Lax I don't understand how they can kill the taste of the fish by covering it in a broth crumb. I guess that the chef is a big fan of carbs that serves fish in bread crumbs with kartoffels and rice. Unfortunately, not everyone can take such large part of the carbs, I do not definitiw.

Our fish soup was not as good as we had on less expensive places in island. brothsticks were good, but boiled inside. they rely on their great location and do not work hard enough on eating.

Four of use couldn't get a reservation on-line, so we wandered around the waterfront looking for another well-rated restaurant. We ended up at Salka and thought why not ask if they have an opening and they did! We were seated immediately. Two of us...had the Shellfish Soup as an appetizer, and it was very good. Two of us also had the Chicken Stir-Fry and that was good as well. It was different, with a distinct ginger flavor. Another in our party had the Chicken Salad, w/o the croutons as she has celiac disease and cannot eat anything containing gluten. It was a large salad, which she said was very good.

Are there last night. Busy but staff very gy, lovely traditional restaurant, excellent food. Highly recommended.
