kodykatt Posted April 28, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2005 We will be visiting Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan and my son wants to eat Salmon. Hoping someone knows of a very good restaurant in any of these cities. I know there are salmon bakes but they seem touristy and probably crowded. Do any of the restaurants prepare the salmon with that "outdoor" cooking over wood? Thanks and regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted April 28, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Twisted Fishes in Juneau is excellent, but they don't cook outdoors that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liza123 Posted April 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Someone mentioned Thane Ore House in Juneau as a place that the locals go to. Liza123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I too suggest Thane Ore. But don't hesistate to walk up to someplace and give it a try, if the menu is of interest to you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK*Angel Posted April 29, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I'm a Juneau resident and Thane Ore House is great! No other restaurants cook outdoors. For an indoor sitdown restaurant the Hangar and Twisted Fish are both good choices, especially for Halibut. Have fun.....Its Sunny and 65 today in Juneau!

kodykatt Posted April 29, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Thanks for all your help. We have decided to take the Taku Lodge floatplane tour that includes salmon bake. I hope we made the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK*Angel Posted April 29, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2005 You'll love it. It is a great trip, wonderful scenery, good food, and you'll more than likely see bears. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is it far from the docks, i.e. do you need a rental car or is there other transportation to get there? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 30, 2005 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Thane Ore is 4 miles south of downtown, they have a shuttle. But verify this and perhaps give them a call when you get there? I never had reservations the two times I have eaten there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are taking Capt Larry's whale watching trip while in Juneau they can also arrange this for your.. I wouldn't bother with rental car..

cruiseonj Posted May 3, 2005 #15 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Where in Seattle. We will be there the day before we sail. Would like something close the Space Needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momthecruisedirector Posted May 4, 2005 #16 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Not sure how close you want to the Space Needle/Seattle Center area - but you can take the monorail from the center to go downtown. Here are a few good places t consider: The Fisherman - right on the waterfront, they offer a "Feast" style menu. It's a four course meal - starting with Clam Chowder served with sourdough bread. Then Tossed green saled with Honey Dijon Mustard. Then bucket of mixed local hood canal clams and mussels and then your choice of Salmon - mesquite grilled 19.95 per person Crab feast - dungeness, king and snow crab - 29.95 per person Halibut - mesquite grilled 24.95 per person prawn - crabmeat stuffed, mesquite grilled and panko fried - 28.95 cod - basted with herbed butter 18.95 Real close to the Seattle Center (and good) TS McHughes alder smoked king salmon - nw king salmon smoked over nw alder wood then broiled. Served with irish mashed potatoes, beggies, irish soda bread and salad or soup We like the Rocksalt on Lake Union too Steaks are wonderful and I just had cedar plank baked salmon two weeks ago - marvelous. Anthony's at Pier 66 is very good - and you'll be able to watch the NCL ships sail off into the sunset from there. There are also great casual dining restaurants on the waterfront - the Crabpot, Steamers... Enjoy your day - hope the weather is nice while you are here!
