Street vendors in Alaska?

[chrismch]

Just saw an interesting show called "Eat on the Street" which talked about the street vendors on 4th St in Anchorage. Are there any street vendors selling food in Ketchikan or Juneau that we might try?

I've never noticed any, but you never know what a new sailing season will bring

We didn't see any when we were there in 2009.

Not exactly a street food vendor but Tracy's Crab Shack in Juneau is a favorite....Also when we were waiting for their tour to leave from in front of the Alaskan Brewing Company a couple got grilled hamburgers from a street vendor accross the street and said they were "great burgers" as they wolfed them down before getting in the van..

There were a couple in Juneau if you get past the "shopping" area and into the real part of town. Mostly selling hotdogs, reindeer dogs etc.

We bought giant bags of freshly popped Kettle Corn from a guy on the street in Juneau.

If you're getting to the lovely port of Sitka on your cruise, there is a street vendor selling reindeer sausage (delicious) and other treats on the corner by the traffic light right in town.

I looked up Tracy's King Crab Shack. It may be local but it's priced like it's shipped in!

12oz king crab leg is $24, 8 oz of Snow crab for $17

Here's a link to the menu for the full details http://kingcrabshack.com/

It very well may be shipped in. I don't think they have a commerical king crab fishery in southeast Alaska.

Back in 2012, while the DW was shopping, I stopped at a small fish and chips shack on the cruise dock. Their fish and chips were pretty good...perfect end to a day of shopping and sea kayaking!

Its the little white and green shack labeled 'Fish and Chips' at the end of the cruise dock.

HOWEVER, looking at the yelp reviews, it seems that this place may not be the same place that I remembered stopping at back in 2012 :( . Has anyone tried this place since then?
