Free ‘fishy’ ice cream cones come to London for one day only – South London News
Move over Mr. Whippy and make way for Mr. Fishy: a first of its kind van serving up scoops of gelato-style SEAFOOD in wafer cones.
There is no 99 with a Flake on this menu, but there are scoops of spicy tuna and creamy taramasalata topped with King Prawns and caviar. Bizarre? Perhaps. Delicious? Absolutely.
Launched by Kraken Rum, the Sea Scoops menu has been developed by food professionals.
Every flavour is a popular seafood recipe but presented in a format never seen before: as an ice cream-style scoop, in a black wafer cone and served out of the hatch of an actual ice cream van.
An ocean away from boring vanilla and raspberry ripple, Kraken’s salty scoops are savoury and umami sensations that will defy tradition, delight seafood lovers and surprise those with an adventurous palate.
They include smoked mackerel pate scoop topped with Monster Munch, caviar and a Buffalo hot sauce drizzle, spicy sesame tuna scoop topped with octopus and a Kraken teriyaki glaze drizzle and taramasalata scoop, topped with a King Prawn and a wild garlic oil drizzle.
The van will be mooring in at Battersea Power Station on May 2, serving free cones of seafood scoops to the public.
Over-18s can also snag a sample of chilled Kraken Black Spiced Rum cocktails that have been perfectly paired with the seafood scoops.
The Kraken is known for upending tradition to delicious and head-turning effect, first by creating the world’s first black spiced rum and now it’s transforming ice cream experiences into seafood sensations.
Tempted Brits will be able to get a free Sea Scoop from 11:30am until samples last.
