1. Nordic Seafood Platter
The Blue Lagoon's signature seafood platter highlights the finest catches from Iceland's pristine waters. This carefully curated selection includes exquisite smoked salmon, fresh langoustines, and locally sourced Arctic char. The Arctic char is prepared using traditional Nordic smoking techniques, resulting in a delicate flavor that balances the fish's natural sweetness with subtle smoky notes. The langoustines are gently poached to preserve their naturally sweet and tender texture, served with clarified butter infused with local herbs. The smoked salmon is cured using a centuries-old method that incorporates native birch and juniper berries, creating a unique flavor exclusive to Iceland. Each component of the dish is garnished with foraged herbs and accompanied by house-made condiments, including dill sauce, pickled vegetables, and traditional rye bread.
