Just one week after opening, Fugitoto made a splash in Epsom when it introduced its king salmon ice cream flavour, and within a day, it was gone.

Two weeks later, the store had sold a full four-litre tub of it every single day.

They are selling so much, co-owner Jiani Yuchi said they were not letting customers sample it, claiming you could not get the proper flavour.

So if you want to try it, you had better be prepared to drop $12 for a scoop.

"Like cat food but in a good way"

I'm not sure that would be "good"

Ah I want to give it a try, but not for $12 a scoop..

What I miss about living in asia in general is all the weird and interesting flavours you can get

Wow.... Screw that, salmon ice cream? I'll stick to fizzy milk or something

Wow, nice. I make ice cream at home, perhaps will give this a try!

Salmon? Um, no.

Umami? I'd give that a go. Maybe.

I think I'm a bit old fashioned, I discovered walnut ice cream at a parlour last summer and thought that was a bit out there.
