Fish and Chip flavored ice cream

The name is just enough to tell us that this one’s a Brit. The UK’s Fredericks Diaries ice cream manufacturer offers this very special favour as an homage to Great Britain’s favourite national dish. Made to give a taste of the British seaside in a lick, the Fish and Chip flavoured comprises creamed cod fillet ice cream surrounded by vanilla and pepper batter.

Oyster ice cream

A centre of attraction at many oyster festivals around the world, some of you who have read Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer must be aware of the oyster ice cream. The ice cream was first served in the White House by the First Lady, Dolley Madison, around the 1810s. When this ice cream was first introduced, it was deemed a luxury good that only the upper classes could indulge in, owing to the fact that ice was scarce and difficult to find. This savoury flavoured ice cream is made by gently heating oysters and cream, before freezing the product.

Smoked salmon ice cream

Mister Artisan Ice Cream in Vancouver, Canada, is known for its variety of refreshing and artisanal liquid nitrogen ice cream treats. Back in 2017, they offered a breakthrough innovation of yet another weirdest ice cream flavour and that was the savoury smoked salmon ice cream sandwich. It was a limited-edition dessert on the occasion of 150th Canada Day, and was available for just two days. The smoked salmon ice cream is made of smoked wild British Columbia salmon that is blended into a base of milk and cream cheese and served between two cracker crumb wafers.

Squid ink ice cream

While the unusual Japanese food may be one of the weirdest things about Japan for many, an interesting way to explore the Japanese gastronomy is through their fun ice cream flavours. One of such weird types of ice creams is the Squid ink flavoured. With squid ink being consumed throughout Japan, this one indeed began as a novelty flavour. Primarily meant only for the daring ice cream eaters, the flavour however caught on. The squid ink ice cream is pitch black in appearance and does have a fishy taste.
