The origins of Fiskibollur can be traced back to the early 20th century, when fish was a staple food in Iceland. The dish was created as a way to use up leftover fish and potatoes, which were combined with spices and formed into balls.

Most recipes are similar with few variations, but some balls are fried and some are baked. Take a gander below:
