About Fiskibollur

Ólöf Ásta Salmannsdóttir shares her mother’s original Siglufjörður fish balls as a longstanding family Bolludagur meal. This version selects haddock from the offered fish choices, with onion, wheat flour, potato starch and egg in the mixture.

Salt, pepper and a named meat-and-grill seasoning flavour the fish. The accompanying brown sauce uses the fish-ball cooking liquid, stock seasoning, browning and cornstarch; their unspecified product formulas remain unresolved.

The fish balls are pan-fried before simmering in the sauce liquid. Boiled potatoes, rhubarb jam and cold milk accompany them. The shop’s separately described eggless variation and barley salad belong to a different preparation.
