Notes on Hakarl: Supposedly pronounced How-kart-th.
It's an Iceland Shark delicacy. Adjectives used to describe it include rotted, putrefied, moldy, and fermented Greenland Shark, which takes a little Black Death to wash it down. Sounds like Limburger. Ya, heh.

The Greenland Shark apparently has uric and cyanic acid in it's system, so this rotting process is actually a leaching process to remove the acids. conisuer of Hakarl wash it won with Brennivin or "Black Death". I understand it tastes a bit like Snapps.

Interesting background on the Greenland Shark "Skalugsuak" at
