Sægreifinn

Sægreifinn or the Sea Baron is a warm and friendly restaurant that specialises in seafood. You’ll find the restaurant in a green-painted, old fisherman’s hut located in the heart of Reykjavík, in the vibrant harbour quarter. The Sea Baron is famous for its lobster soup, which has been referred to as ‘’Worlds Greatest Lobster Soup’’.

The story behind the Sea Baron is fascinating, but the retired fisherman Kjartan Halldórsson ran a fish shop, selling all sorts of fresh fish products directly from the dock. He was once asked by some foreigners if he could also prepare and cook the fish they just bought.
