6 seafood places in Reykjavik we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Reykjavik | Seafood across every city.
With the fleet landing at the Old Harbour, seafood is Reykjavik's most natural cuisine, and many of its best rooms sit a short walk from the water. Messinn on Laekjargata made its name on the pan-fried fish skillet, while Fish Company and Kopar work the Grandi waterfront on Vesturgata and Geirsgata with langoustine and the day's catch. For something humbler, Saegreifinn's green harbour hut on Geirsgata has poured lobster soup since the early 1990s.
