The fact he drinks I can only imagine Vodka right before Ramsey bursts, probably because he also was going to throw up without a different taste in his mouth

Not Skate, it is Greenland Shark. It is prepared that way because the sharks meat is poisonous. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1karl

If I could theorize an origin...
Viking colonists in Iceland try to kill and eat these strange, far-northern sharks and stingrays.
They all ******* die of the poison in the terrible Icelandic sea creatures.
One viking gets marooned on some random part of Iceland.
He finds *********** shark left by previous vikings in one of their shacks after finding out it was poisoned.
(remember, this is a "delicacy" made by hanging it in a shed 4 months and burying it another 3 months)
Out of desperation, he eats it. It tastes like **** , but **** , he's alive.
He returns to town with his story, and the townies are amazed he survived by eating the "poison" shark.
A number of vikings die trying to figure out how long you have to leave the poisoned piece of **** before all the poison ferments away.
After finding out how long it takes to ferment Iceland Killer-Poison Shark, some badass viking king turns it into a delicacy by saying: "LOOK AT ME, I EAT POISON THINGS THAT SHOULD KILL ME AND I SURVIVE. **** EVERYONE WHO CAN'T. NORWEGIANS AND SWEDES AND DANES WHO DON'T HAVE TO EAT POISON DEATH SHARK ARE PUSSIES."

felixjarl ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] So right.
Iceland. Few if any salt mines.
To cold to get sea salt.
Salt is expensive with trade routes this long and it never was really cheap at all.
Smoking things only tastes good so long.
So when you need some way to preserve your food you just do what you have to do.

felixjarl ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] Preserve is a wrong word here.
What they do is bury it in the ground.(do they add anything, dunno)
This ferments it.
So it is basically half rotten by the time they eat it. If not fully.
Oh and it is filled with poisons. Why you cant eat it fresh and why it does not get infested with maggots.

**bakagaijin rolled image**Not sure how seasalt is made, but couldn't you just boil the water away and scrape off the salt?

felixjarl ONLINE (12/26/2015) [-] You use basins like this.
Step one. Gather sea water(often used with the high tide)
Step two. Wait until it has dried.
Also good question. Honestly i do not know why they did not do it.
A guess though. The fuel cost to do it must have been insane(boiling water is easy. boiling water out of the pot is a little more expensive)

At one point, salt was more valuable than gold, and there's lots of things you could use as fuel

felixjarl ONLINE (12/26/2015) [-] Blubber was a important trade item.
And well considering how much you had to use.
Also i found a interesting link. blog.nordurco.com/post/108071010367/a-short-history-of-salt-making-in-iceland-and-how

melwach ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] Those damn TV chefs. Loosing their connection to real food.
If you can't appreciate the rotten shark, how are you supposed to grasp the finer things in life?

**** that's nothing, Alaskan natives eat something that translates to "stink fish." They bury salmon in woven cedar baskets for months, at least 3, then dig them up and eat them. There is a political movement practically begging them to bury the salmon in air tight plastic buckets to prevent salmonella that is failing.

Dooooo it. Tell me what episode this is too lazy to go onto wiki and research a cross reference of the two actors know as tv reality stars to find out. Someone in humanity already has this knowledge.... Gosh, such a waste of time.

fuzzyballs (12/25/2015) [-] it'd just be the same result
and seeing the same thing a second time makes it less funny

solvikaaber (12/26/2015) [-] It always confuses me to see the Icelandic rotten shark dish being called hákarl because it is just the Icelandic word for shark.
