Skata is skate, a type of ray fish. On the festival of Þorláksmessa (December 23), fermented skate is eaten. It has a pungent smell and therefore many people dislike it or are even disgusted by it, however people force themselves through it to demonstrate to their friends that they are authentic Icelanders.
