Week 21: Monkfish and happy guests at Einarshús

Two big cod, each of 1,15 m, many smaller ones, several wolffish and one monkfish: This is what Thomas Junker and friends had caught after only two days on board their boat. „The monkfish was great. I actually had never seen one in my life“, reports Karl Otto Mietzner when back ashore in Einarshús in Bolungarvík.

The group of six Germans had chosen an especially comfortable way of accomodation: They were in Einarshús, the cozy hotel and restaurant right at the harbour in Bolungarvík. What on Thursday only made the group still happier than the nice atmosphere at the hotel, was that when they came back from fishing, the staff at Einarshús agreed to prepare the monkfish that had just been brought ashore. „Unbelievably great dinner“, the whole group agreed.

It is not at least the ambiance at the hotel that makes the guests feel being at a really special place. „At other places one might not even be allowed take a seat on these time-honoured armchairs“, remarks Sven Felski and smiles when bending at the cozy old furniture.

This summer groups in Bolungarvík stay both in Einarshús (with meals included) and in Iceland Sea Angling's nine flats in the village.

The group enjoys breakfast at Einarhús.
