Looking for good local places to try local food and drink.  Recommendations are greatly appreciated.  We will be cruising from Seattle R/T May 7-14.

Thanks Pam

The food truck area in Juneau. The best halibut fingers, and a crepe from the Alaskan Crepe Escape.

Juneau:  The Hanger on the Wharf.  My husband has had excellent fish tacos there.  While Tracey's Crab Shack is much loved by tourists I've always thought it was over rated.

 

Sitka:  An acquaintance is from Sitka and visits family there.  According to him my favorite Sitka restaurant was a victim of covid.

 

Ketchikan:  We make it a point to visit Annabelles at this port.  Just recognize that the menu will be heavy on seafood.

In Sitka we found the best chowder I've ever had. It was a stand set up in the gift shop of the Sitka Sound Science Center, and I believe it was an outpost of Ludvig's Bistro. They also sold some sandwiches. But that chowder really was fantastic. We also left out of Seattle and tried Pike Place Chowder, and we kind made it a thing for that trip to order it whenever we saw it on a menu in Alaska, and it beat all the competition in my opinion. We took it outside and sat on a picnic table overlooking the water. Not the most glamorous, and not even really a real restaurant, but we thoroughly enjoyed it, especially since it was a colder day. We're going again this year and I'm insisting we stop there again. In Sitka we also got Russian dumplings at Sitka Pel'meni. It was pretty good, and it took a while to get them (which they warned us about, they only had one person working that day), but it's something I personally never tried before so it was a unique stop.

Deckhand Dave's in Juneau.  Best halibut and salmon tacos!

Hi, try the Burger Queen in Ketchikan. They got a good halibut sandwich, an the shakes are to die for. It isn't fancy, just 6 booths inside, and a couple of tables outside. Its across the street from the Arctic Bar, also there's Tracy's crab shack in Juneau
