📖 Story
Höfn is Iceland's langoustine capital — the town's fishing fleet brings in tons of fresh Norway lobster (langoustine) from the deep waters off East Iceland. Humarhöfnin has served langoustine for decades, perfecting preparations. The menu offers langoustine soup (creamy, rich), grilled langoustine tails, pan-fried langoustine, langoustine pizza, and full langoustine feasts. It's pricey (~8,000-12,000 ISK mains) but the quality is exceptional — langoustine caught hours earlier. The restaurant occupies a harborside building with ocean views. Reservations recommended in summer.
