Fish Akutaq by Angela Kameroff

:
Fish Akutaq

1 white fish (boiled)
3 lbs. Crisco shortening
1 cup Wesson oil
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 gallon berries

Fish Akutaq

Clean the fish and take all the bones out. Shred the fish meat into crumb -size pieces. Get a large bowl, add the shortening and oil, and mix well by hand. After you have mixed it, add the sugar and whip it until you can't feel the bits of sugar. When you are through, add the berries. The berries can be blueberries, salmon berries, blackberries or store bought. I recommend the picked berries. After you have mixed the berries, freeze the akutaq for about an hour. Then your dessert is ready to eat.
