It is not often that an ice cream parlor makes it into the Netherlands’ national news, but that’s exactly what happened when Robin Alting started selling raw herring ice cream in his shop in Rotterdam. Though Dutch diners are known for their love of herring, the incorporation of the fishy favorite into sweet ice cream was a step too far for some.
The divisive flavor is a frozen blend of raw herring, onion, sugar, and cream. It’s been described as having the texture of traditional ice cream but the strong taste and smell of herring. Perhaps this pungency is the reason Alting suggests sampling his unique creation in small portions rather than several big scoops.
Need to Know Ever since Alting made the flavor, several copycats started selling herring ice cream in their stores, so keep an eye out for other versions.
real herring chunks!!
I’d try it.
I had lavender ice cream the other day. It was pretty good.
I know, not the same thing....
Lol me too
no thank you...
there’s something fishy about that stuff...
i’ll stick with “death by chocolate” ice cream smothered with chocolate syrup...
I love pickled herring, and herring in cream sauce. & onions. I could eat that stuff all day. But herring ice cream is just a bridge too far for me.
buttered pecan please.
Then there is garlic ice cream.
that’s good too...
but i’m a chocoholic...
And you can use the bones to make a herring bone suit!
That’s for amateurs. Surströmming’s for real men.
Some people like beer as well as ice cream. Does this mean that they would like ice cream with beer flavor?
I have seen stout flouts
Yummy!
yum. Tuna Ripple.
