It’s a far cry from the likes of a Magnum or a Fab, but fish ice lollies are a thing and they’re suitable for the consumption of both man and penguin alike.

Unsurprisingly, they’re not available in the frozen section of your local supermarket – but have instead been devised as a treat for penguins at Chessington World of Adventures.

The ‘Zoo-shi’ lollies, as they’re appropriately called, are the brainchild of Chessington’s own zoo team, who were looking for a new way of keeping their flightless residents cool this summer.

And as for what the lolly consists of, daring eaters can expect a variety of crustaceans, alongside a hint of lemon and tarragon to add extra flavour.




‘We regularly give our animals food in blocks of ice as a form of enrichment, but this time we’ve gone a step further’, penguin keeper Camille Sade explained.

‘With sushi becoming so popular over the last decade the human and Penguin diet isn’t all that different anymore.

‘We thought it would be fun to create something both our Penguin and human guests can enjoy, and we’re looking forward to seeing the reactions from guests who are bold enough to taste the treat.’

Evie, 6, from Surrey, was daring enough to taste the Zoo-Shi Popsicle, and surprisingly described it as ‘quite yummy.’

If you’re interested in giving the popsicle a taste, you should head to Chessington World of Adventures this Bank Holiday Weekend – where the unusual snack will be available for all adventurous visitors.
