    Authentic Eskimo ice cream not store bought or made with milk like products.

    was it good? Just googled it and I'm not sure I'd be able to eat it, especially after seeing the calories for it lol

    2000 calories for 20 servings of a dessert doesn't sound bad at all. Is a serving really an ounce?

    Did you input the recipe? It never occurred to me that MFP would have ingredients like seal oil in the database, LOL. Aqutaq can be quite tasty, I agree, although I'm a bit of a wimp and need lots of berries involved...

    Yes I put in the recipe but it is not shared because everybody's is not quite the same. Yes they have seal oil in the database. I don't have it very often because of the calories but it is a very welcomed treat. Edit: I weighed everything with my scale and my preferred method is ounces :wink: when its all completed and ready to eat. So I just have to weigh how ever much I eat and log it :smiley:

    Cool! I never would have expected seal oil in the database, glad it's so inclusive. Have you found their numbers for smoked salmon (what my AK village friends called "dry fish") to be accurate? I wonder if they are more correct for lox and other "wet" Euro preparations and not so much for the Alaska Native preps I grew to love when I lived there. I worked in Anchorage with a mainly Native population, so I was lucky enough to get to try all kind of delicious Native food! Where are you from in AK, if you don't mind my asking....

    Just as a point of curiosity...are you in favor of actual white fish like halibut minced up in your aqutaq? I've had it both ways and, like a true girl from Outside, I always tend to prefer whatever recipe uses more berries!

    TBH that stuff sounds amazing. I'd sacrifice a day of dieting to give it a try :)

    If it helps, "their numbers" are usually user-entered values. Seal oil and probably 95% of the database here is entries created by people like you and me. Some accurate, some not. (Though the seal oil entry must be decent because it's 9 calories per gram and I assume it's 100% fat, so it sounds accurate because fat is 9 calories per gram!)

    Wow just Googled it, it looks...interesting.

    Really cool though, I didn't even know this existed! I doubt I'll ever go to Alaska but it would be fun to try this someday.

    What does it taste like?

    For dry fish I just use any dry heat salmon like "Fish - Salmon, Atlantic, wild, cooked, dry heat" I don't think it is very accurate but it works. I can't find any nutrition data that also burns the skin to include it in the nutrition calorie estimation, I LOVE THE FISH SKIN it is like eskimo gum. For our fish in our aqutaq we use Northern Pike because we do not have halibut here. I am in rural alaska around the Bethel area.

    I don't know how authentic you guys could make it but there are recipes and directions online. Everybody makes it different.

    Cool, I lived in Anchorage and Juneau about 20-25 years ago, had lots of friends and coworkers from the Bethel area. I even got to go out to Bethel and Kwig for a visit, which was great.

    I never could handle the skin on the dry fish. But, I worked with many Yupik folks who were more than happy to take it off my hands! I loved the fish flesh part of it, though, so delicious and with real smoke flavor, you can't get that deep flavor in the stuff that gets commercially made out of state.
