> My wife wanted to try it and we found a person at a deli attached to this big weird flea market that was SO HAPPY to give tourists a free sample.

This really takes me back! My wife and I went to exactly this place, for the express purpose of trying the hákarl. The guy was eager to give us both a taste as well. But we both said 'no thanks' once the smell hit us.

Where is this "weird flea market"? I've been to Iceland several times, one time for almost a whole month and have no idea what this is referring to.

Edit: Is this that indoor flea market by the water near the customs building and that overrated hot dog place.
