Nation's first fish and chip ice-cream

Fancy salt and vinegar with your ice-cream? If so you'll love Australia's first fish and chip ice-cream unveiled yesterday by its creators Fremantle fish and chip magnate George Kailis and local ice-cream chain Il Gelato.Mr Kailis says he was inspired by the famous British chef Heston Blumenthal's internationally famous bacon and egg ice-cream.Kailis and Il Gelato left no stone unturned in their search for the perfect fishy ice-cream.

They flew in two Italian flavour scientists from Italy's Bigatton company - makers of the majority of the world's gelato pastes and flavourings - to taste Kailis' fish and chips before heading back to Italy to experiment and taste for five months in the laboratory.And the taste? Not fishy at all.
