Most people remember the TV shows Beautiful Fish<\/a> which were shown on R\u00edkissj\u00f3nvarpi\u00f0 about two years ago. The shows received few views, but well over two hundred thousand people watched the shows each week. The series won an Edda Award in 2011.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now the sequel to these shows is starting to take off and you can expect fun TV material on Thursday night this autumn.

TV shows will be shown on R\u00daV on Thursday evenings, but the aim of the shows is to introduce viewers to all the incredible possibilities in the wonderful raw material found in the sea around the country. The idea for the episodes was sparked by Gunn\u00fe\u00f3runn Einarsd\u00f3ttir, a food scientist at Mat\u00eds, and Brynhildur P\u00e1lsd\u00f3ttir, a product designer. Gunn\u00fe\u00f3runn's master's project in food science at the University of Iceland dealt with the state of fish consumption among young people in Iceland. The results of the project showed that there was a great need to strengthen both people's knowledge and consumption of seafood. From this project, the idea arose to make a TV show where the seafood of the country was in the lead role. Gunn\u00fe\u00f3runn and Brynhildur got chef Svein Kjartansson, photographer \u00c1slaug Snorrad\u00f3ttir and Sagafilm to join them to make the idea a reality. The idea was further developed and implemented by \u00c1slaug, Sveinn and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir, directors at Sagafilm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
