Fishing is Greenland's main industry, and Greenland halibut is caught in the ice fjord around Ilulissat on the west coast. Frying the rich fillets in butter and eating them with boiled potatoes is a home staple.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the harbor in Ilulissat, against a sea dotted with huge icebergs, fish are landed from small boats and fried in butter in a home pan.
