smattapup Posted March 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2007 We'll be cruising up 'laska way come May, and will be stopping in these cities. Since my wife won't get on a small boat, we won't be catching our own fish, but would still like to eat fresh fish every chance we get. What are the best places in these towns for fish?

wolfie11 Posted March 5, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2007 In Juneau, Twisted Fishes right near the dock is good, for halibut and chips I like the little place in back of the Sand Bar in the valley. The Crab Shack near the dock is good as well. There is also a salmon bake, but I've never been there. I really don't trust the big salmon bakes that do a lot of volume, as I suspect some of them are serving frozen and possibly even farmed salmon. I've heard good things about the Thane Ore House one, though. I don't know about Skagway. I don't know of any outstanding seafood places there. There's a salmon bake at Icy Straight Point. Since it is run by the native corporation, I would imagine the food is fairly fresh. Anchorage has a lot of great restaurants. Simon and Seaforts is good for seafood.

Yukon Posted March 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2007 In Skagway, the Skagway Fish Company over by the small boat harbor and Railroad Dock, is the one we anxiously await the opening of every year. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Fish Posted March 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2007 In Juneau: the Sand Bar is our favorite for halibut and chips, but it is located in "the valley" not downtown. Icy Strait: In the town of Hoonah, the Office Tavern has fresh dungeness crab, and The Galley has excellent halibut pizza (sounds wierd, but tastes great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love to Cook!

Murray Hi Murray! How far is this from the cruise ship docks? It sounds like some place we might like to try while we are there. Thanks for the help!

aah21 Posted March 9, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Our cruise is stopping there...anyone got a suggestion? Thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemac Posted March 12, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2007 The Sand Bar in Juneau is good, but a bit out of the way. Twisted Fish is alright, but I've never been thrilled about their service. The Hangar has better service and great views of the water, never had their seafood, but been with lots of people who have and they love it.

Yukon Posted March 12, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Our cruise is stopping in Prince Rupert...anyone got a suggestion? You betcha - Smiles Seafood Cafe (small and totally casual but no view), the Breakers Pub (casual with many view tables) and the Waterfront Restaurant at the Crest Hotel (arguably the best food in town, definitely the best view).

sea_u_onboard Posted March 15, 2007 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm assuming The Hanger is Hanger on the Wharf - http://www.hangaronthewharf.com/ - correct? I couldn't find anything on the others - I must be doing something wrong. can you post some links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemac Posted March 17, 2007 #15 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Correct, the Hangar is "Hangar on the Wharf" The Sandbar is at 2525 Industrial Blvd. Its out of the way and a lil hole in the wall but the fish and chips are great. Twisted Fish is downtown next to Mt Roberts Tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
