> Please refrain from eating shark, puffin or whales. The only reason why we are still killing endangered species is solely tourism. The local population does not eat them. Please try lamb soup instead. Or one of the amazing Iceland hotdogs.

I don't know where you get the idea that Icelandic people don't eat these things. Admittedly puffin is not a very common dish, but whale meat is consumed by Icelandic people, and shark meat also has some following.

My friend's company in Iceland invited their employees to dinner a few weeks ago. The menu? Hrefnukjöt (minke whale meat).
