Halibut fish and chips at the Alaska Fish House in Ketchikan was the best meal we had on our cruise last week... so delicious!

It was very busy, but the line moved fast. Once we ordered, we waited about 2-3 minutes for a table inside and our food arrived as we were sitting down. Don't let a longer line deter you...

It's not IN Ketchikan, but the best we experienced was the George Inlet Lodge (about a 20 min bus ride away). We were there last Thursday.

You can just do the lunch (they will pick you up at the dock) or combine with an excursion (seaplane, etc.).

Crab was great and all you care to eat!

We enjoy Annabelle's

Funny, this is actually the only excursion I'm set on so far. I don't know if we should do the boat or plan ride though.

Another vote for Alaskan Fish House. Fantastic food.

There are a lot better float plane rides you can take. Unless you just want a "ride" because you have never been in a floatplane, I hardly find the up charge worth much. I'd suggest just using their road shuttle service and book flight seeing separate.

I happen to like Alava's for halibut, on the side of the tunnel.

I had Dungeness crab at the Alaska Fish house last week. Good food, good atmosphere. Not overly crowded.

While on the topic of crab legs. I'm in Ketchican July 12. Would love crab legs. I know king crab are out of season but Dungeness are in. What's the difference. I'm down on the Chesapeake and we have nice soft shell crabs. Hmmm hmmm! [emoji886] [emoji886] [emoji886]

I tried Dungeness crab for the first time last week. I had heard it tasted different than King crab. In my opinion, and those of the people with me, Dungeness crab tastes more like Maine lobster than it does crab.

I agree! We loved it there and the local fellow that was there at the same time told great stories. The fish and onion rings were so great.

Well that's not a bad thing is it? Looking forward to trying it! Assuming it's smaller than king crabs [emoji886]

No, it's not a bad thing. They tasted great! The Dungeness legs I had in Ketchikan were definitely smaller than the King legs I had in Juneau.

I did this a couple of weeks ago and ate more crab than I have in my entire life. Very nice, my Mom would have been in heaven and eaten enough to put them out of business. I did a bus ride there with the flight back and actually wished I had done the boat ride. Flight was nice but short.

I finally got a chance to try them as they always seem to open a little late. Well worth the stop, fantastic portion of fish and chips. Will try more next visit

I think I'm leaning more towards the boat ride now, rather than plane. I do want to do a float plane ride somewhere though, just need to figure out which port/company to do it with.

If you are a Deadliest Catch fan, you can eat at Dwyer's. It is owned by Sean's family and all profits go to the ALS Foundation.
