Eat Hákarl (fermented shark) for Friends of Recovery New Hampshire · 13 September 2025

Story

I'm going to Iceland and while I'm there, I'm eating hákarl - fermented shark that Anthony Bourdain called 'the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing' he'd ever eaten. It's been compared to 'chewing a urine-infested mattress.'

This Icelandic 'delicacy' is fermented and hung to dry for 4-5 months, developing an ammonia-rich smell that'll clear your sinuses from across the room. Why am I doing this? Because my suffering might as well help a good cause!

Hit these milestones and watch me suffer:

$100: Tiny nibble (instant regret)

$500: Full bite (Gordon Ramsay failed here)

$1,000: Erin films me eating a full piece with 'Black Death' schnapps

All donations go to Friends of Recovery New Hampshire. My dignity goes in the bin. Let's make this count! 🦈🤢🇮🇸
