The sight of a puffin flapping its wings and jumping  from a cliff to generate enough lift to become airborne is enough to  make anyone go ‘aaaah’.  In Iceland, however, these seabirds have been a source of sustenance  for Icelanders on the islands for centuries. Iceland is home to one of  the world’s largest colonies of puffins and ‘sky fishing’ is a sport  which involves catching the low flying birds in a big net.  The best place to catch a puffin or two is in the Westman Islands,  where they are sustainably harvested to prevent them from coming  extinct. The heart of a puffin is eaten raw whilst it is still warm in  traditional Icelandic delicacy.  Puffins are eaten by breaking their necks, skinning them and then  eating the fresh heart raw. Puffin is supposed to be delicious like a  fishier version of chicken or duck. It is often smoked, grilled or  pan-fried. TV chef Gordon Ramsey caused quite a stir when he was seen  eating this rare delicacy on TV.<img src="http://bna-art.s3.amazonaws.com/www.bootsnall.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Puffin.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
