luftrar

Luftrar is a term that originates from Icelandic, where it refers to a traditional method of drying and preserving fish. The process involves spreading the fish out on a large, flat surface, such as a wooden board or a rock, and exposing it to the open air. The fish is then left to dry in the sun and wind, which helps to remove moisture and preserve the fish. This method is often used to preserve cod, haddock, and other types of fish that are commonly found in Icelandic waters. Luftrar is a sustainable and eco-friendly method of preserving fish, as it does not require the use of salt or other preservatives. It is also a popular method among Icelanders, who often use luftrar to preserve fish for later use in cooking. The resulting dried fish is known as lufur, which is a popular ingredient in Icelandic cuisine and is often used in soups, stews, and other dishes. Luftrar is a traditional method of preserving fish that has been used in Iceland for centuries, and it continues to be an important part of the country's culinary heritage.
