gridswaldtravlers Posted October 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey Cruise Experts, My family would like to eat some great seafood in the following cities. Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan what would you suggest? And one of the family members doesn't eat seafood, so what would you suggest? So they can all get what they want. They mostly want great Alaskan King Crab. Thanks for any help you can offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted October 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2009 From what I hear, Tracy's Crab Shack in Juneau. Haven't been there yet, but its on my itinerary for June of 2010!!! very near the cruise ship docks downtown, a little shack with outside seating, nothing fancy I'm told, but BEST king crab legs ever! Check out their website (do a google search) and they show pictures. Yum!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamagal in FL Posted October 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2009 You won't have any trouble finding great seafood places in each of those ports but Ketchican is the salmon capital of the world. I don't eat seafood either but there was plenty of variety at most places. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krogerlady Posted October 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have to agree with Tracy's. We went there last June and the crab was fantastic!! Yes, its a shack with paper plates, styrofoam cups, plastic forks, picnic tables, and if you get messy picking the crab you don't mind a bit, cuz everyone else is doing the same thing. Next time I go, and I will go again...sigh...it will be on my list of "must do's". Oh, the crab bisque is so good my mouth is watering just thinking about it...darn....why does Alaska have to be so far away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaP1204 Posted October 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2009 There was a little place in Ketchikan that had crab meat, already out of the shells and ready to eat. It was called an appetizer but was 1 lb. of meat. $14.95. SOOOO good. I pigged out. Had no idea it would be so much meat considering it was an appetizer. It was by far the best deal on seafood I found. Will get the name of it off the pamphlet to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorilea Posted October 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Another vote for Tracy's King Crab Shack in Juneau. It's not fancy - ate outdoors at a picnic table under a tented area. There's a couple of other booths nearby for the non-seafood eater. My daughter had a strawberry and nutella crepe but the rest of us ate at Tracy's.

THere's also a place right next to Tracy's that had either reindeer sausage or hot dogs, can't remember which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2009 In Ketchikan a little place (walkup counter by the Lumberjack show) the best halibut & chips. Skagway (by the pier) Skagway Fish Company crab legs. And of course in Juneau the Alaskan Fudge Company ( yummy brought back 6lbs) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted October 14, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2009 YES, according to the sign as you enter Ketchikan....OF THE WORLD That would surely mean something to someone that likes Salmon...Not everyone does....We'll stick with the Halibut....:rolleyes: Not going to eat Raindeer either..... :eek: I want to make sure Santa Claus has them all to pull his sleigh.....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal1993 Posted October 14, 2009 #12 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Great fresh seafood.Just be aware that King Crab Legs are just as expensive in Alaska as they are in the lower 48.Catching them is dangerous and they also will not be fresh as crab sesaon is in the winter.That said they are truly scumptous and what can be better them eating them in Alaska.

GranMona Posted October 15, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Yes, definitely Tracy's Crab Shack in Juneau. CC has made it really popular, sometimes they run out of the bisque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdn_cruzer Posted October 19, 2009 #15 Share Posted October 19, 2009 On our last trip to Alaska (2000), my huibby and I ate somewhere in Skagway. He had a musk ox burger, I had halibut, and both were great. Can anyone who's cruised Alaska recently tell me if you can still get a musk ox burger someplace? I've seen mention on elk steaks and reindeer sausage (sounds interesting...) but nothing on musk ox. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
