Fresh fish and chips nestled between two epic waterfalls, what could be a better day? When in Southern Iceland a visit to the mighty Skogafoss waterfall is a must, Kvernufoss is for those in the know, and Mia’s Country Van is the most delicious thing to fuel the adventure!
Somehow, you can easily miss the small polka-dotted food truck with its two picnic tables and many people rushing to the falls do, but that would be a shame! So on a beautiful Icelandic day bundle up and eat al fresco with a view.
There is only one menu item here, and that ensures that it is absolutely perfect. The fish is as fresh as can be sourced locally usually cod is offered, but at times there might be wolfish or haddock.
The crispy batter is made with handcrafted Icelandic ale from the Ölvisholt Brewery, and there are many different types of salt to sprinkle on top to make the flavor pop. A generous portion of thick wedge chips melt right in your mouth and fill you up.
You get a choice of sauce, homemade Icelandic tartar, sweet chilli or ketchup. Your meal is cooked fresh to order by a friendly and smiling Mia, and takes roughly ten minutes, priced 2000 KR which converts to $17 USD – a steal in Iceland!

It is definitely an expensive place…but you can always buy supplies from the grocery store and live on hot dogs along with a splurgey meal or two!
The only problem with fish and chips there is the cost. In Reykjavik, the pubs charged over $25.00 for one plate.
