He has the dad thing figured out, he has the vacation thing figured out, he has the content creator thing figured out... basically, everything figured out.
I don’t know how amazing dad is someone who travels frequently and is out of home without their kids or if he travels with them puts their family in a nomad situation. Childhood friends? Sleep overs? Meh who needs that right?

For those of you wondering why Iceland was so important to NATO: Their position in the middle of the channel between Greenland and the UK and Norway made it a chokepoint that Soviet subs had to get thru to get to the Atlantic, and Iceland based listening Sonar stations made it immeasurably easier to locate and track them. Losing Iceland as a host to these would have made it much easier for Soviet subs to slip thru and get close to the coast of Europe and the USA undetected.
Interesting video - only gripe is that Brits generally don't get their Fish and Chips from Pubs. More often than not it's in a dedicated Fish and Chip shop, or 'Chippy'.
@@johnnyharris if you actually did I don’t know if that would be good or bad. But i think your gonna have to make that video ASAP. 🤣 Every video you do is interesting somehow soooooo
They actually used some bizarre techniques to annoy eachother. British fishermen used to reply on radio to the Icelandic Coastguard by playing rule brittania and the coastgaurd developed devices that cut the cables from the trawler to its net in the water so they only noticed the loss of their catch after the damage was done.
As an Icelander, I loved this storytelling of the cod war. But you left out that the Icelander's fishermen did "attack" the British fishermen where it hurt the most, they cut their fishing lines and nets so they came out empty-handed.
Honestly, imo Iceland kinda seems like a little punk that doesn't know what he's doing. Like a kid who you tell to not hit their sibling, and then they proceed to sock the sibling in the eye.
I love how this video is all: "Lets talk about the super serious yet also hillarious COD wars" but also: "Lets make a 10 min divertion to look at stunning waterfalls and puffins!"
Can we recognize for a second how this video is both a mini history lesson and a travelog all at once? I can't get over the level of filmmaking and journalistic talent something like this takes.
Usually when I watch a RUclips video I often place my phone down while listening through head phones. With Johnny Harri’s videos, I am enthralled with the graphics/photos he uses in his videos! I can not multi task while watching his videos.
These videos on RUclips that are not live streamed are always going to come a bit late because of editing needed. Especially with amazing channels like this one. Post production is where most of the work is done.

@@jacksevert3099 i don't think it's so much about quality as it is about quantity. fish and chips isn't supposed to be a gourmet meal, but a simple staple. i think it's more an island tradition of having so much coastline and having so many people actively employed in the fishing industry
It's because of you that we love Cod so much... the Bacalhau on our old code of arms was not really for domestic consumption... but the only stable source of international currency for hundreds of years ;-) ... to Iberia with love
Minor correction at 2:22 - whilst a fair number of pubs around the UK do serve fish & chips, it's not the most common way we eat it. That would be the local chippie, or fish & chip shop - usually takeaway only and not serving alcohol, unlike a pub.
Love Johnny’s way of story telling. Riveting from start to finish with a generous sprinkle of humour throughout. Not sure if it’s verbatim and likely some liberties were taken as far as how things transpired just like Hollywood does to so called historical films.

Thanks for a great video as always Johnny! However as an Icelander I have to say that you missed a few very interesting details about the cod wars. For ex. the Icelandic coast guard had one secret weapon that they used in their fight against the British which was a clipper that could cut the fishing nets off the British ship. Also there was but one human casualty in the wars who was my distant uncle. He was an electrician and was working in the engine room when his ship was rammed by the British navy and died by electrocution.
I went to Iceland a few years ago and recognize some of the sites in your videos. This series has brought back so many memories of my trip. Fantastic content! I hope to see more Iceland through your stories.

i wrote a comment on one of your post johnny about what you should make videos of in iceland, and i sad cod wars. when i saw on notifications i thought, YES! now i can learn more of this war! Thank you
I loved this video because of the tourism and scenery. Totally makes me want to take the family to Iceland and rent an RV. However, the analysis of the war was really oversimplified. It wasn't about loving fish and chips, it was about control over important economic resources. It would've been really helpful if you had mentioned the changes in fishing technology that allowed countries to fish further and further off shore, and I was hoping to hear about Icelands tactic of sailing behind British trawlers, cutting their nets. Iceland did more than just threaten to leave NATO in order to win the war. It should be said that many other nations quickly came to recognize the benefits of the much larger Exclusive Economic Zones, and so backed Icelands claims. Keep the videos coming. Very informative and entertaining.
Me, a Portuguese, eating a cod dish while watching a video claiming Iceland is the biggest cod lover: well… this is interesting… Edit: Me, an Azorean, watching a video claiming the west most point of Europe is a place in Iceland: well… so Flores island is what?
@@Ikbeneengeit ahaha no way! 😂 Besides, we don’t have cod in our waters and we stoped fishing it in the North Atlantic after our dictatorship. Now we import it from who does; expensive but intrinsic in our culture.
Flores is not a part of Europe Geologically. It is on the North American tectonic plate. And if you want to go by national status, then Greenland would be the most Western part of Europe since it is a partly selfgoverning body under the Kingdom of Denmark. But the part of Iceland he shows is on the American plate too, so it is not the most western part by any definition.

This actually kinda reminds me of the Oyster Wars that happened in the Chesapeake Bay between Maryland and Virginia in the late 19th to mid 20th century. Maryland’s Natural Resources Department actually has a memorial to the people who died in it in the state capital of Annapolis.
*Argentina looking at a deprived Britain which lost to Iceland* Argentina: If we take the Falklands, surely they won't respond Margaret Thatcher :.....
@Toucan Chat I mean people have a right to live where they were born it isn't immoral or wrong for Britain have a war to protect its citizens from invasion by a foreign fascist power especially given that war basically allowed the junta to be toppled and allowed the Argentine people to have more freedom and democracy
@Toucan Chat I mean, as a Brit, it was worth the expenditure to ensure that the Falklands, which minus one persons' vote, wished to remain 'British' controlled. And our expenditure and suffering for WW2? Also worth fighting for. Though I will agree that the first was needlessly wasteful. But the good that came from the Falklands was the freedom of it's people to speak the language they wished and to run themselves how they wished. Arguably even to call themselves what they wished.
That's so true Icelanders are naive but clever crazy but happy quick to love and easily offended ❤❤ but quick to forgive and be to become friends again 😊
“What are we here to see son?!?” “Um, Puffins?” “YES!” Ok, so, is it possible that Johnny and Izzie are interested in adopting another, possibly older child? I volunteer as tribute! - I’m not very large, so would be easy pack-and-go for travel!
Even though I personally consider Europe as just a glorified peninsula connected to a much larger landmass, she did say "continental Europe" which from my understanding does not include offshore islands like the British Isles, and most of Iceland is technically a part of the North American Plate according to geologists.
Hey over her from Britain! 🇬🇧 don’t know if you found this out on our travels, but fish and chips was so important to us that during WW2 it was one of the few this never rationed! It was classed as cheep and plentiful!
@@adamgriffin8197 also our military was hot garbage then. The British burned down the White House. Lol. Post probably like 1944 the US and Soviet Union were by far the world’s largest militaries.
@@adamgriffin8197 considering this was in 1812, most of Canada wasn’t Canada, but British territory, granted USA wasn’t as powerful as the royal army in general, but considering their army locally was bigger thier was no excuse for them to have not won other then defence is general has a better chance due to not really mobilizing. The eu/British military would have taken a bit to cross the sea to reach Canada and I’m sure the number of people in Canada was small at the time due to the country belonging to a overseas government/leader/the royal/whatever you want to call it.
Fantastic video Johnny. Really enjoyable. I'm usually covered in cod every day, as a technician at one of the plants, so yeah, I can confirm we really love cod. The truth is though, most people grew up eating haddock because cod was to expensive or was sold to England for fish and chips. Boiled haddock, butter and potatoes is still at lunch in many schools on Mondays. The one thing that you could have mentioned is the net cutters they started using in the second war to cut the wires on the trawlers. That really pissed Britts, and it's so simple in principle. There is one fish we I would say love more then cod, and that's capelin. That's what the puffins live on and is what's the difference between if we build a tunnel this year or not at all. I really enjoy this Iceland series. Good stuff.
At home we eat cod weekly (I live in Catalonia). We eat it raw and salted, with red pepper and olives. Its awesome, buttery and very tasty. And we eat it cold, so its very refreshing in summer. Here its called “Bacalla esqueixat”. ...And it comes from Iceland. So i can understand that they are very proctective of their fish, it must be a very important part of their economy!
I'm Hull, East Yorkshire. and it's linked to the decimation of our fishing industry.... Plunging the City into decline. Lots of people aged 50+ remember it very well.
Dont drag that into here, i am freaking tired of the "it's coming home" meme that its just not funny anymore (even tho im british but im not very that interested to football)

Iceland did more than just threaten to leave NATO in order to win the war.
It should be said that many other nations quickly came to recognize the benefits of the much larger Exclusive Economic Zones, and so backed Icelands claims.
Keep the videos coming. Very informative and entertaining.
Me, a Portuguese, eating a cod dish while watching a video claiming Iceland is the biggest cod lover: well… this is interesting…
Edit: Me, an Azorean, watching a video claiming the west most point of Europe is a place in Iceland: well… so Flores island is what?
Don't start Cod Wars 4 😂
@@Ikbeneengeit ahaha no way! 😂 Besides, we don’t have cod in our waters and we stoped fishing it in the North Atlantic after our dictatorship. Now we import it from who does; expensive but intrinsic in our culture.
Flores Indonesia kah??
Is your parents Indian?
Flores is not a part of Europe Geologically. It is on the North American tectonic plate. And if you want to go by national status, then Greenland would be the most Western part of Europe since it is a partly selfgoverning body under the Kingdom of Denmark. But the part of Iceland he shows is on the American plate too, so it is not the most western part by any definition.
I love how we got an impromptu tour of Iceland in the middle of COD WAR
This video is anmasterpiece of story telling through video and an absolute joy to watch. Thank you and well done
Excellent piece that intertwines war, international law, and cod with beautiful touristy landscapes.
Come on you missed the opportunity to call this "The Cod Father"
Lol mate good one🤣👏
That was actually my nickname on a discord server once so I feel a personal connection to this comment
Can we take a minute to appreciate him not saying Fries
@@GUSCi-BDE 🤣😂 agreed 👍👌
@@weeguy52 that was my experience is north America i went to a Mcdonald and i tried to order chips pieces of chicken then the lady taking my order was like what is chips
This actually kinda reminds me of the Oyster Wars that happened in the Chesapeake Bay between Maryland and Virginia in the late 19th to mid 20th century. Maryland’s Natural Resources Department actually has a memorial to the people who died in it in the state capital of Annapolis.
Wait, aren't they both US states? Can they do that? Wouldn't the US (the Union) just rule the issue?
Took a shot everytime he said "Fish & Chips", now I'm an alcoholic

You've officially passed your UK entry test. Welcome.
UK accepts Icelandic 200 nautical mile borders
Iceland: start speaking in 300 nautical miles
No basically the only dispute we currently have with the British is Rockall - which is of course is Icelandic ;)
@@MrPicky officially, no :)
Rockall is irish
@@derekkearns3377 much closer to scotland than ireland
@@urmum3773 there is a song about it in Ireland basically about imperialism of uk. Called Rockall they say its ours🇨🇮😀😀😀
Johnny Harris makes documentaries on random topics so interesting. Appreciate the hard work 👏 👏 👏
*Argentina looking at a deprived Britain which lost to Iceland*
Argentina: If we take the Falklands, surely they won't respond
Margaret Thatcher :.....
Narrator: Yeaaaaa, what happened next was his final famous words.
@Toucan Chat I mean people have a right to live where they were born it isn't immoral or wrong for Britain have a war to protect its citizens from invasion by a foreign fascist power especially given that war basically allowed the junta to be toppled and allowed the Argentine people to have more freedom and democracy
@@matthewblairrains6032 to be fair 500 years ago u didn’t even know falklands existed , but I get the point of people being born there
@Toucan Chat I mean, as a Brit, it was worth the expenditure to ensure that the Falklands, which minus one persons' vote, wished to remain 'British' controlled.
And our expenditure and suffering for WW2? Also worth fighting for. Though I will agree that the first was needlessly wasteful.
But the good that came from the Falklands was the freedom of it's people to speak the language they wished and to run themselves how they wished. Arguably even to call themselves what they wished.
Imagine if margerat thatcher was PM during any one of the cod wars
Arey The thumbnail is awesome
If Europe would be a family, then Iceland would be everyone‘s favourite but batshit crazy cousin.
Love you guys! Greetings from Switzerland!
As a icelander its true we kinda are not right in the head. And i love you switzerland
And the UK is the crazy cousin that has too many kids
That's so true
Icelanders are naive but clever crazy but happy quick to love and easily offended ❤❤ but quick to forgive and be to become friends again 😊
“What are we here to see son?!?”
“Um, Puffins?”
“YES!”
Ok, so, is it possible that Johnny and Izzie are interested in adopting another, possibly older child?
I volunteer as tribute! - I’m not very large, so would be easy pack-and-go for travel!
😅😅.
15:42 Except in that case Portugal could also claim that the Azores are the westernmost point in Europe lol
And France's borders technically include all their overseas territories so Europe stretches to South America with French Guiana
@@bloody_sais Exactly
@@bloody_sais the EU territory kinda does, but not Europe as a continent. Depends on which most western point you actually want
Or France and Holland in the Caribbean?
Even though I personally consider Europe as just a glorified peninsula connected to a much larger landmass, she did say "continental Europe" which from my understanding does not include offshore islands like the British Isles, and most of Iceland is technically a part of the North American Plate according to geologists.
Hey over her from Britain! 🇬🇧 don’t know if you found this out on our travels, but fish and chips was so important to us that during WW2 it was one of the few this never rationed! It was classed as cheep and plentiful!
Wish I knew this during 2016 Euros especially during Iceland vs England.
And instead it happened during England vs Italy
That was Part 4!!!!!
I’m saying the same thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was the UK fishing vessels majority Scottish not just about England.
Dude, this music is amazing, it's kind of like a theme for your channel
What a great way to combine work travel and family. Johnny always tells a great story. Because he 'is' a great story.
Damn, just rubbing the salt into the wound. Just as humiliating as England losing to Iceland in the last Euros.
Cod isn't coming home...
I mean power is nothing, USA lost to Canada when the USA with its massive military at the time tried to invade Canada, lol 😂
@@memepros5433 just canada, or the British empire as well.
@@adamgriffin8197 also our military was hot garbage then. The British burned down the White House. Lol. Post probably like 1944 the US and Soviet Union were by far the world’s largest militaries.
@@adamgriffin8197 considering this was in 1812, most of Canada wasn’t Canada, but British territory, granted USA wasn’t as powerful as the royal army in general, but considering their army locally was bigger thier was no excuse for them to have not won other then defence is general has a better chance due to not really mobilizing.
The eu/British military would have taken a bit to cross the sea to reach Canada and I’m sure the number of people in Canada was small at the time due to the country belonging to a overseas government/leader/the royal/whatever you want to call it.
Always love your videos, very informative.
A little correction on the dried fish part at 3:15 the fish that you took with you was haddok (ýsa) :)
"Hyse" / "kolje" 😋🇧🇻
Great, now I’m hungry for fish and chips.
My hometown, Grimsby (UK), was once known as the fishing capital of the world.
Lmao fucking rip for Grimsby only thing we had going for us
Cool story" bruv"🖕
I’m sorry
we do feel for you guys, we sell alot of fish to Grimsby that you resell in the uk
great storytelling! I'm glad to see y'all on the road again!
Why does Johnny Harris look like some English footballer to me suddenly 😂
Loool too true man
Grealish?
@@erdnasiul87 Yesh kinda. Tbh I'm not a big football fan bt I watched the match yesterday so...
Can we take a minute to appreciate him not saying Fries
Grealish😂
"Who wants to try some dry aged cod"
'Not me' soo cute 😄
Really great content, thanks for going to these interesting places for the wonderful stories!
Learned a lot from you Johnny !! Be safe!
Fantastic video Johnny. Really enjoyable. I'm usually covered in cod every day, as a technician at one of the plants, so yeah, I can confirm we really love cod. The truth is though, most people grew up eating haddock because cod was to expensive or was sold to England for fish and chips. Boiled haddock, butter and potatoes is still at lunch in many schools on Mondays.
The one thing that you could have mentioned is the net cutters they started using in the second war to cut the wires on the trawlers. That really pissed Britts, and it's so simple in principle. There is one fish we I would say love more then cod, and that's capelin. That's what the puffins live on and is what's the difference between if we build a tunnel this year or not at all.
I really enjoy this Iceland series. Good stuff.
At home we eat cod weekly (I live in Catalonia).
We eat it raw and salted, with red pepper and olives.
Its awesome, buttery and very tasty.
And we eat it cold, so its very refreshing in summer.
Here its called “Bacalla esqueixat”.
...And it comes from Iceland.
So i can understand that they are very proctective of their fish,
it must be a very important part of their economy!
Great stuff, Johnny. I love your videos and I always learn loads from them
Think you had more fun filming that than I had watching it. Well played sir
Germany, England, And Denmark: “You Have No Navy, And this Claim is Interfering with our fishing”
Iceland: “I Missed the Part Where that’s my problem”
"You don't have a navy"
"We have fishermen"
UK not England, there were more Scottish vessels than English and Scottish vessels make up 64% of UK vessels today.
Johnny Harris - I am totally crazy about your videos. Keep posting them. Thanks.
The fact that I've only just been made aware about this now (by an American at that) after having lived in England my whole life is... concerning? Idk
It’s not concerning at all, to be honest these “wars” are pretty much just some cool facts, it doesn’t really affect Britain anymore
It's not the story the cod jedi would tell you
I'm Hull, East Yorkshire. and it's linked to the decimation of our fishing industry.... Plunging the City into decline. Lots of people aged 50+ remember it very well.
Both travel vlogging and informational? Bring it on! Love such videos. This is amazing, Johnny!
im very happy to see you have a wonderful happy family. have a nice trip
Love the in-between tourism clips. Johnny Harris presents - The COD wars ft. Iceland road trip
They really said "Fish is coming home" and failed.
don't go there... we were so close...
Dont drag that into here, i am freaking tired of the "it's coming home" meme that its just not funny anymore (even tho im british but im not very that interested to football)
Lmao
Please just dont
Fish didn't originate in the UK so it would not make any sense. If anything, this is more like stealing fish for the british museum.
The landscape footage is bloody brilliant !!!
18:11 I can't believe you missed the chance to insert the joke "We have bigger fish to fry"!!!
