Located on the water. Lots of indoor seating and. Small deck outside. Order your food and then get a number and a seat. We only went in for drinks. Got a beer cocktail and a cocktail. Both absolutely delicious. Sat on deck. Very friendly staff!!! Great vibes. Awesome drinks. Stop here for drinks!!! read more

Got the Alaska sampler and half pound of dungeness crab to split. The halibut fish was our favorite, then salmon, then cod. The fries were super good and the crab we had was great. We loved the sauce they served with the crab. Despite the line going across the street, it was not difficult to find seating after we ordered. Staff were all kind and helpful. Super conveniently located in comparison to the cruise ships and the lumberjack show. read more

Waited about 45mins to order & receive my food. I got a cod fish and chips and it was delicious! I especially like the tartare sauce and how it's not too chunky. There is inside & outside seating. It's recommended to order first before claiming a seat, however no one follows this rule, so that's something to be aware of. Staff were very kind and helpful! read more

We arrived around 10:30 am for lunch (lol) so, of course, there wasn't a line or crowd of people. They're located next to the lumberjack experience. The place is bigger than it looks as there are two dining areas. You order and pay at the counter. We went overboard and ordered three entrees of fish and chips because that's what they feature. Deep-fried Salmon, DF Cod, and DF Halibut. Plus, we tried their Smoked Salmon chowder. Cod was the best, Salmon was weird, and Halibut was good. The fries and chowder were also decent. Overall, we had a fine meal but nothing really stood out as outstanding. read more

This was my favorite meal from every cruise port we went. Pricing was excellent. The fish tacos were amazing. The seasoning on the fries was delicious. 3 kinds of fish and chips! Even busy, we got a table. It's right on the water with great views. read more

The line was pretty long when we arrived, and we ended up waiting in the rain for about 30 minutes. However, with cruise ships in port, that was to be expected, and the line moved surprisingly fast. Once inside, you place your order at the counter and are seated afterward. One thing to note: if you're a smaller party and the restaurant is busy, you may be seated with other guests. It felt a little unusual at first, but it wasn't a big deal. My husband ordered the Dungeness crab, and I went with the Alaska Sampler, which features three different types of fish served fish-and-chips style. The fries are their signature mesquite-seasoned fries, and honestly, they worked perfectly with the seafood. As someone currently working on a YouTube video about our Alaska cruise experience, I can honestly say this was some of the best fish and chips I had during our trip. My husband also loved his crab and said the meat was incredibly fresh, tender, and flavorful. They don't sell alcohol at the ordering counter, but once you're seated, there's a small bar in the back where you can purchase drinks. We tried the Double Shovel Appalanche Cider and absolutely loved it. Overall, aside from the communal seating, we really enjoyed our experience. I especially appreciated their unique take on fish and chips. Being originally from Cape Cod, I take my seafood pretty seriously, and this place definitely delivered! read more

The wait was egregious. The fish was crispy and has a panko crust which different from the batter you expect from a fish and chips but that is about all that is noteworthy. The food was hot and fresh but a bit pricey, not worth the wait but if you have time to kill why not? read more

Did a seaplane excursion and our pilot said if there was one place to be sure to eat it was the Alaska Fish House. When we got on land we made a beeline for lunch. Expect a long line, but was worth the wait. Food was great, had the tacos and fish and chips. Dish was so fresh, breading was light and everything was prepared fresh. Highly recommend. read more

Alaskan Fish House was excellent! It's located right next to the Lumberjack Show and is within walking distance from the port once you get off the ship, which makes it a very convenient stop. We tried the fish sampler with halibut, salmon, and cod, and it was amazing. My favorites were the halibut and cod--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I'm not usually crazy about salmon, but my wife really enjoyed it, especially her blackened salmon with rice, teriyaki sauce, coleslaw, and malt vinegar. The hickory smoked seasoned fries were also very good. Even though Alaskan Fish House is extremely busy, the service was very friendly and the system moved well. There was about a 40-minute wait to order, but once inside, we found a table right away with no waiting. Great food, great service, and definitely worth the stop in Alaska! read more

Highly recommended online and by locals. It was packed after the Lumberjack show, so we came back for dinner. The Alaska tacos were delicious; loved the slaw, but I prefer the halibut to the salmon. Great view of a small harbor with fishing charter boats. We saw a seal pop under the nearby building and walked down the ramp after. Very friendly staff! read more

Alaska Fish House - Alaska fish tacos - Seafood Near Me - Ketchikan, Alaska

Tourist trap that unfortunately has 1) overpriced mediocre food and 2) the customer service of an angsty teenager. Let's start with the first point since that's what you're here for: The batter on the fish and chips is well-fried but bland. The dungeness crab is nothing to call home about. Save your money and buy crab from Costco or across the street--unless you want to spend $50 for 1lb of mediocre crab. The fries and salmon chowder are honestly the best part as other reviews have indicated. But everything is absurdly overpriced and nothing special. The latter point is what drove my rating from a 3 to a 1. Seating is self-serve. Tables are packed inside, so naturally after ordering food, we find available seating at the tables in front of the restaurant. 25 minutes later, a young girl with blonde hair brings out part of our order along with a snarky comment, "Next time, can you guys let us know if you're going to sit outside." Excuse me? Next time, why don't you tell me where I should sit if the tables DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF your restaurant are not an area you check when serving food, despite there being a sign about seating literally next to those tables? Then a second girl with red hair comes out and adds, "You guys can't drink alcohol outside." We apologize and explain that we didn't know. "Well there are signs everywhere." Okay. There are literally NO signs that say that (I challenge you to take a look through all the atmosphere photos from other reviewers and find one with the sign about 1. "notifying the staff you'll be sitting outside" and 2. "not bringing alcohol to the tables in the front") EXCEPT at the back patio of the restaurant... which no one would see if they're sitting inside or in front. Of course, we still respect the restaurant rules and move our stuff to their back porch "seating" (5 chairs propped against a fence with a 4-inch ledge) and finish dining. Upon leaving, we were met with glaring stares from the 2 girls behind the counter. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a highly rated restaurant. Here's a tip for the waiters: if your customers make a mistake, kindly redirect them rather than assuming they did it with malicious intentions. And don't double down on your accusations if the customer apologizes. Here's a tip for cruisers to get better food for better value: try the fish and chips or fish tacos in Juneau at Deckhand Dave (MUCH tastier and MUCH cheaper at $21 for Halibut fish and chips), and eat at other local restaurants in Ketchikan instead. read more

Stopped here for lunch during our cruise stop after it was recommended by some locals. It was good! A little pricey, but not too bad. The salmon tacos were great, just wish the shells weren't bland hard shell tacos. The service was very quick and the staff were very nice. Very cute restaurant on the water with great views while you enjoy lunch! read more

Best fish in town, not beer battered, great tasting soup as well. Best restaurant we ate on our trip. Worth the price.

Really good fish and chips and salmon bowl. Staff is friendly and restaurant couldn't be in a better location. Only critique I have, the tartar sauce was a bit strange and unauthentic. Otherwise very good read more

Went to this place during one of our cruise stops during our Alaska cruise. We saw a big line and we knew we had to try this place. They service fish in different form factors such as a taco, fish and chips, or even a rice bowl. I decided to try the fish and chips and got the sampler which consisted of one of each fish (cod, salmon, and halibut). The fries had a smoky barbecue taste which complimented really well with the fried fish. The fish was crispy and the picked coleslaw helped balance out all of the fatty food from the fried fish and fries. The halibut was my favorite piece as it was flavorful and tender, I can see why they charge way more by the piece for it. The salmon chowder was also good but very heavy, I recommend sharing the chowder with someone as it is a lot of food. Overall, I would come back if I was in the area but I wouldn't wait longer than 15 minutes in line. 4/5 read more

I ordered the $23.99 halibut and salmon combo tacos. They came out with premade crunchy taco shells (that you would buy in the grocery store) and had two ounces of fish between two tacos. Yikes! Don't go here. We really wanted to love this place because our E-bike rainforests tour guide "Sid" said it was her favorite place to eat in town . Terrible! Service was great though at the restaurant. read more

Unpopular opinion... We were told by a man in line that this was the best place for fish in Ketchikan. We were excited, even with the long line and long wait. We ordered and sat, after a long wait it was delivered, they forgot to give us one of the meals we ordered (but she didn't ring it up) so husband had to get back in line and wait again. Staff wasn't friendly (other than the girl taking our order). They were out of Halibut (you're literally a fish restaurant and on an ocean), that was fine though. The cod was fine, I'm not a fan of crumb crust/panko crust fish but it was fine. Fries were terrible! Nothing to remember or write home about. If I ever was in town again, I would choose somewhere else. read more

I came to Ketchikan from an Alaska Cruise and wanted to try out some salmon in the "Salmon Capital of the World". I chose this restaurant as it was nearby and had this famous "Salmon Chowder". I ordered my food relatively fast and I easily found a seat in the large seating area. The staff were really nice and made sure I was getting a good experience. I got the salmon fillet and the salmon chowder. The salmon fillet was very delicious and had a nice savory taste. I like the grilled texture. The salmon chowder was warm and so creamy, making it perfect for a relatively windy day at Ketchikan. There were a lot of salmon pieces there too. Definitely come check out this place out if you're ever in Ketchikan. read more

Prices are a little high for good quality fish and chips, but I believe they are worth it. Staff is very kind and welcoming, the atmosphere is very good and homey. Not a very large alchohol selection, but quality beats quantity and they have quality. Would recommend this place for a consistent high quality meal. read more

The long line was intimidating, but during our 45 minute wait, several customers were walking out and said "it's worth it!" encouraging us to stick with it! We ordered the smoked salmon chowder and the Alaskan sampler (one cod, one salmon, one halibut). I ripped into the fish upon arrival for my photo and we saw all three were the same: we think halibut. My fiancé wanted to just eat it since we were so short on time but I made him take it back since I wanted to try all three! He went back and sure enough the girl said yes that is not right and remade our order. Meanwhile, we chowed down on the chowder which was a-maz-ing!!! We received our correct order right in time: piping hot. Loved the light, crisp batter on the fish and the fries were delicious too. The halibut was our favorite: moist and so tasty. The salmon was second (a bit dry) and lastly the cod which was the driest. So in retrospect we should have kept our first incorrect order. LOL. Get the halibut fish and chips and the smoked salmon chowder! read more

Alaska Fish House - Ketchikan, AK After a day of brewery hopping, questionable navigation skills, and one too many "just one more drink" moments, we ended our Ketchikan crawl at Alaska Fish House--and thank the seafood gods we did. The blackened taco had just the right kick to jolt us out of our beer haze, and the smoked salmon chowder? Creamy, smoky, and borderline spiritual. We shared it... romantically, like a couple who still splits dessert and occasionally agrees on things. With dock views, fast service, and food that sobers you up and makes you fall in love again, Alaska Fish House was the perfect last stop. If you only remember one bite from your time in Ketchikan, make it this chowder. read more

The halibut tacos are great. They're a little different with their flavor profile (slightly spicier than I'd expect). It works well with slaw and hard shell tacos. The fish is panko so if that's what you love, you are likely a five star review. I prefer beer batter hence the dock of one star. Fries have a an interesting smoky salt added. Never had something quite like them. read more

Once again, researched the best place to eat in Ketchikan, Alaska. Always the suggestion was Ketchikan is the place for salmon. Note, the address of the Fish House is on Salmon Landing. The front runner was the Alaskan Fish House. Waited in a line, maybe it was raining a bit, didn't matter, added to the moment. We selected the mixed plate of halibut, cod and salmon, served with fries and Cole slaw. Most importantly, we ordered some of their smoked salmon chowder. This chowder was the best I've ever tasted, chock full of smoked salmon, cubed potato and other seasonings that were perfect. Everyone there was having the best time, the food cannot be denied. After waiting in line, seems like we were served and seated inside rather quickly. I would have waited as long as necessary. Highly recommended the Alaskan Fish House and most importantly their smoke salmon chowder, which I will have to try and recreate this Fall. Thank you Alaskan Fish House for a totally awesome experience, you don't disappoint. read more

Alaska Fish House was highly recommended from what I've seen online and i will say, it does not disappoint and lives up to the hype. My partner and I waited in line, which was roughly 45 minutes and an additional 15 for the food. We shared the 2 piece halibut fish and chips along with a cup of salmon chowder since we weren't too hungry... we could have ordered more after we discovered how delicious the food was. The salmon chowder was not too creamy which let the sweetness from the salmon shined. The star of the show was the fish and chips, they were on the pricier side but worth every dollar. The fish was thick, sweet, with a light coat of batter; paired with the homemade tartar sauce and it was perfect. The coleslaw was also a nice surprise, it was vinegar based instead of the usual mayo which gave it a nice twist and refresher from the heaviness of the fried food. They offer plenty of seating indoors, but if the weather is nice, opt to sit on the porch in the back so you can enjoy the view of the water! The employees do bring out the food to you. read more

Alaska Fish House - Halibut fish and chips along with salmon chowder since - Seafood Near Me - Ketchikan, Alaska

Kinda overpriced and way too long of a line. I really only liked the Halibut for the fish too.

What a great spot for lunch! We were on a tight schedule so we decided to wait outside before opening so we could secure a table and grab food. We were not the only ones with this idea and there was a line before they opened. However, this line was totally worth it! It is designed as an order at the front and find your own table which was great! They also have a full bar inside but drinks cannot go out to the front picnic tables so keep that in mind. The bartender was wonderful and made delicious drinks that we took to the small outdoor seating area. Both the grilled and blackened salmon tacos were wonderful. They were fresh, cooked perfectly, and the salsa on top was delicious. I will say I preferred the grilled because every flavor stood out more and the meat was more tender. The fries were amazing and worth ordering as the side. If you see a line, don't let it steer you away. Ordering is quick and painless, the food is amazing, and the view one of the best here! read more

We stopped in for lunch recently and had a good experience. We tried the fish and chips with salmon, clam chowder, and crab. The mesquite fries had great flavor. The breading on the fish was tasty. The clam chowder was excellent. The Dungeness crab (full order) was great. The crab was smaller and more expensive than a previous stop on our trip, but still good. They only have 2 unisex bathrooms in the place and they were occupied awhile when we were there. read more

Hands down the best fish and chips I've had. The cod was amazing and the size, I struggled to finish the 3 piece combo. Their tartar sauce is on another level you dip their mesquite fries in it as well brings it all to another level. If I was local I'd be here every week. If you're in town you have to try this place read more

We stopped by the Alaska Fish House while in Ketchikan. There were a couple of cruise ships docked, so this place was BUSY! Even though this was the case, the staff were amazing. You order your food outside, and then you can either choose to sit inside or outside. Now, we come from an area where fish and chips is big, so I wasn't too keen on having it, but based on local recommendations, we still did. WE DID NOT REGRET IT! We ordered their local salmon fish and chips, and the local dungeness crabs. The crabs were the best I've ever had, and the fish in the fish and chips was amazing and not prepared as to how we do in Western New York nor like what we've had in Ireland. read more
