Visit Anchorage: Akutaq at Blackbull Native Store

by

I saw a thread on Reddit that you can find akutaq, a type of Native Yup'ik "ice cream," at Blackbull Native Store.  

Traditionally made with animal fat (from caribou, reindeer, etc.), fish, and berries, modern versions are made with Crisco, sugar, and berries.

At Blackbull Native Store they offered a huge variety of flavors.  


The employee said to try the "OG" flavor, which was made with salmonberries. 

It was slightly sweet, slightly tart.  It was nice to try a native type of dish.   
The store also offers teas, goods, and other types of foods.
Definitely check out Blackbull Native Store to try some akutaq!
