Fermented skate is also eaten on Þorláksmessa (23rd of December) here in Iceland. Although it's boiled. Going into a house or restaurant where it's being prepared is an experience in itself.

We went into a seafood restaurant before Christmas and I thought they were closed and cleaning the floors, the scent was so strong.

We waited at a bus station with a restaurant serving the dish, and the scent stayed on our jackets for weeks.
