What's the Best Salmon Bake in Alaska?

[cctn]

I am trying to plan our excursions for our AK cruise this coming May - what is the best place for a salmon bake? We went to the one in Juneau on a previous cruise and was wondering if there are others that are better or equal?

ThankYou, Corkey

Where are you going to be??? Juneau and Skagway are the only ones - big scale Inside Passage. For excellent salmon, in my opinion, there is the Thane Ore House in Juneau.

The trouble with a salmon bake is that the food is mass-prepared. If you really want high quality salmon, go to a restaurant.

The Salmon Bake restaurant in Glitter Gulch across from Denali Princess was delicious. Best halibut fish and chips we had the whole trip!

Corkey, I'd have to pick the Taku Lodge Flight & Feast. It's an memorable excursion flying over the glaciers in a float plane, landing on the Taku River, eating delicious Salmon cooked over an open fire, going on a nature walk in a remote rain forrest, then flying back to Juneau, but it is the best Salmon we've had!

Has anyone had the Alaska Salmon Bake in Fairbanks? We are thinking of doing it on our September Cruisetour; however, are not sure it is worth the money.

We really enjoyed the salmon bake at the Thane Ore House in Juneau. It included an all you can eat salad bar and the salmon was prepared while we went thru the line. They also did the Beer-Battered Halibut to order. By the way this is a restaurant and if you don't want the all you can eat version, you are able to order just salmon or just the halibut. To say it was delicious is an understatement!

 

The best part is that the folks at the Thane Ore House will be pick you up in Juneau and take you back.

Exactly. It's a restaurant that is very well known.

Yep, I've eaten at the Pioneer Park Salmon Bake, very good. BUT with a cruisetour- you are dependent on their transportation and large group lines.

 

I am one who is ONLY there at the opening and one of the first through the line. They did not switch to clean plates- EVERY time (state health law in NY). And it makes me ill, seeing how careless people are with reused plates.

 

They did give you a clean plate- if you asked. Sorry- but only my opinion.

SEPYLE: In your past experience, is it necessary to make advance reservations for thaneorehouse in Juneau? We are doing Harv&Marv's whale watch in the morning, and hope to be back for lunch by 11:00 am.The salmon bake sounds like a great idea. Of course there will be several cruiseships in port the day we are there.

I was wondering the sameas the poster above. Harv and Marv's then on to lunch at Thane Or House. I did email them but they did not email me back! I'll give them a call and then post back....Anita

I would be interested also.

YES, you need reservations, otherwise you aren't going to get picked up and shuttled to their restaurant. It's a busy and small place. If you choose to, you can also get a cab. The Thane Ore House is located 4 miles south of downtown.
