Did you know that you can make ice cream out of fish? Akutaq, or Eskimo ice cream, is a traditional dish of the native people of Alaska. This dessert can be made of reindeer fat, seal oil, ground fish, snow, and fresh berries. (No wonder the name translates to mixed them together.) The dish is usually served during ceremonies. Each family has their own unique recipe and you can lose social standing if you're caught making more than one kind of akutaq.
