The fish that the monks thought was best. Iceland's expansion into foreign lands 1600-1800. Compiled by Gísli Gunnarsson.
The book discusses the trade in Icelandic skreið on foreign markets in the 17th and 18th centuries. Skreið was Iceland's main export for centuries, and the author traces its history from fishing and processing in Iceland to buyers in Central Europe. The book provides a detailed account of markets, transport and waterways in Europe, with a particular focus on Hamburg's role in the skreið trade.
