Another Recipe

Fish (white fish, pike, or salmon) 3 to 4 pounds, cleaned, deboned, and, if frozen, thawed.
Crisco/lard
Vegetable oil
Sugar
Berries (blue berries, salmon berries, cranberries, etc.) 1/2 gallon to a gallon


Chop the fish into chunks and place the fish into a large pot. Fill the pot of fish with water to cover fish. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer twenty minutes or until fully cooked. Allow to cool.

Place fish in a large bowl, squeezing out the water as you do so, and crumble into small pieces.

Take at least two large scoops of Crisco with your hand and add it to the fish. Stir it up with your hand for at least three to five minutes, or until the fish is mixed well with the Crisco. Add additional Crisco as needed for the fish and Crisco to blend together smoothly

Add about a cup of the vegetable oil, and continue stirring until the mixture is creamy. If it's not getting creamy in consistency, add a little more vegetable oil.

Whip it up with your hand until it gets fluffy.

Pour at least a cup of sugar into the mixture and stir until all the sugar dissolves. Then add another cup of sugar to the mixture and stir until that also dissolves. Add additional sugar to taste.

Add lots of berries to the mixture and stir it up or mix by hand.

The akutaq is ready to eat. Keep it refrigerated.
