Fish story for Open Link Monday

I ate a lot of lovely fish in Iceland

I ate salmon, arctic char, and plaice

but it cost so much for eating out in Iceland

some foods we couldn’t even try to taste

and as for souvenirs, well, just forget it

they cost an arm, a leg, and more, to buy!

but we enjoyed our holiday in Iceland

with hot springs, mountains, sea, and such blue sky!

I thought I was getting an open-faced sandwich of salmon on bread, but it turned out to be salmon on half a pancake. Who knew?

Second photo:

my first taste of arctic char

Third photo: ordinary souvenirs such as mugs and plates were priced right out of sight, and out of reach. Iceland is, after all, an island by the bottom of Greenland's east coast, and although there are greenhouses in the countryside, almost everything has to be shipped in.
