Tbh, I have been to Iceland twice and I have managed to eat very well! (Italian here)
There is no much variety, but I have eaten very good lamb (as you are saying), stews (both mean and fish), even baked goods (there was a tiny house with very good cakes in the middle of nowhere in Westfjords).
My favorite probably was a fusion sushi place (I.e. sushi with local fish) in Seydisfiordur (the town where Ben Stiller arrives to in the Walter Mitty movie BTW). I don’t think the place exists anymore (that was in 2018) but it was very good.
Sometimes you can find very good food in unexpected places (for example, I have never eaten better Mexican food than in Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland!).
No sheep ? I remember mutton being half the dishes, and fish being the rest.
But then if you go to Iceland for the food, you’re probably coming from a terrible place.
