Perils of cooking shark

To quote from a news report out of Iceland:

A farmer and a guesthouse owner in Hérað, in the east of Iceland, has been working hard to remove the stench from accommodation facilities in recent days. Tourists cooked shark by mistake in the guesthouse.

Guests who rented accommodation at Útnyrðingsstaðir in Völlar at Hérað planned to cook whale meat but instead bought a fresh shark and fried it in a pan with garlic. A strong smell erupted that lingered in the accommodation.

Stefán Sveinsson at Útnyrðingsstaðir says that now, three weeks later, the smell is finally disappearing – thanks to the good weather.

Also from the report:

The shark dish ended up in the trash and no one tasted it except the dog, who had very bad breath for a long time afterwards.
