Over the years, chefs have found interesting alternatives for baking and cooking. Especially with the convergence to veganism, many 'out-of-the-box' ingredients have been found. 

Popular chef Josh Niland is known for his fish butchery skills, but it seems he also has a flair for baking. He has got us thinking about fish and ice-cream in a whole new way. 

You could almost say that he opened our 'eyes' to alternative thickening sources. 

In an Instagram video, Chef Josh Niland uses fish eyes as a thickening agent while making ice-cream. 

The mere thought of mixing fish with ice-cream can make one hurl! The part of the fish eye he uses is a substitute for egg yolks when making his anglaise.
