    Cute little walk up window with picnic tables on the pier. We ordered half a dozen oysters which were big and fresh. The guy at the window was kind and informative. Quick service. They have a variety of local hot sauces too! We sat and ate cold oysters and watched seaplanes land and take off! Super cool experience.

    Max is an oyster lover. I am not. The weather was beautiful today and we decided to get Max his fix before we boarded our ship. Max got three different oysters. The two ladies who worked inside the shack were very friendly.

    Great stop for oysters. Order at the counter and plenty of space to sit. We ordered 2 dozen oysters and they came out fairly quick. No one else was there as it was an odd time but definitely recommend. Oysters were fresh and liked the unique mignonette and hot sauces. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable.

    Amazing oysters! Some of the best I've ever had. The red wine vinegar shallot sauce was super tasty on top!

    My husband said these were the best oysters he has had in a long time. Nice big oysters!!

    fresh oysters! yes we had some even after the delicious king crab legs we got. great services, wish they would have some beer on tap to go with the oysters!

    Best oysters I've had in a while - extremely creamy and fresh. My only advice is to get 6 dozens instead of 3.... Because you might not find any at your next cruise stop

    Jase, the owner outside their Oyster Corner!

    This is such an awesome place, owned by long time Ketchikan residents. Let me tell you: you won't find oysters this fresh anywhere else! They source all of their oysters locally, helping other local area businesses and offering you a taste of the fresh Alaskan ocean! You can definitely taste the difference. They also have a handful of sauces and accoutrement to complement your oysters. In the afternoons they also offer grilled oysters and their secret seasoning mix is to die for! Come quick, they only have a limited supply every day! It's also great to support locally owned and operated businesses!

    Delicious oysters! Tastes very fresh and I love the sauce that comes with it! Friendly service and cute Alaskan vibe with outdoor tables to sit at.

    Super fresh and delicious flavor!!! Most definitely the grilled oysters are the way to go!

    my god. delicious oysters!!! they had the canoe lagoon when I went today, and they were definitely a bite of the ocean as the lovely staff described. had it with the provided lemon and mignonette!! so good! go for local oysters if that's your thing!!!

    On a recent Alaskan cruise, this was our lunch spot during the Ketchikan port day. As it's located…read morein a very busy shopping district and next to the Lumberjack show, this is a popular spot. On a drizzly July day with several cruise ships docked, we waited over 30 minutes during the prime lunch hour to order our food, with the line far outside the door and onto the sidewalk. But the line moves fast and we found seats in the 2nd dining room (there's also outdoor seating weather permitting). The food came quickly, a little over 10 minutes after we ordered. My wife chose the Alaskan Sampler Fish & Chips, with one of each of the 3 fried fish options: Pacific Cod, local Silver Salmon and local Halibut. It also came with a generous portion of fries as well as a side of coleslaw. Of all the fish, the halibut was her favorite. She surprisingly enjoyed the coleslaw, as it was dressed with a house-made vinaigrette and wasn't sweet (like many other places use mayo and relish). There was malt vinegar and ketchup on the tables. My salad had a huge salmon filet covering it, with vinaigrette on the side. It was very filling, and I felt better about myself for choosing a healthier option at port after days of overeating on this cruise. We did order sodas with our meal. There is a self-serve soda fountain with free refills. There is also a small bar inside the dining room where you can order draft beer as well as wine and cocktails.

    This is not bad but I don't think their fried fish is as good as their grilled/blackened fish…read morebecause of the oil. The place is located close to the pier so very convenient if you are coming from the cruise lines. The place is popular but they do have enough seating that although you may need to wait a bit you can eventually find seating. It's rustic and a fitting place for the kind of food they serve. The crab is ridiculously overpriced. The fish and chips is also expensive but at least you get to pick the fish between salmon, cod or halibut. The breading is slightly thick for my liking but my main problem has to do with the oil. I usually prefer fresher oil. The food is ok. I think the blackened salmon is probably the best bet for most of the items they offer such as the rice bowls or the tacos. You order first and then you get seating. They clean up quickly so if you wait for a table you don't have to wait long. Overall it's a food tourist spot that has overly expensive food but not bad enough to avoid. They have a patio and the interior is rustic fish house style.

He gave great service and great recommendations for the amount of crab legs. We would need for the size of our party. It is pricey, but it's about the same anywhere you go. The food was tasty. The sides were delicious, that you gave us plenty of napkins and butter to go around. I would strongly recommend this place for crab legs. I don't think I would try the salmon or any of the other stuff on their menu, because that is not what they specialize in and you may be disappointed. Next time I am in this town I will definitely come back.

We had a group of 8; sat fairly quickly for being a packed house. Menu was decent in choices; prices were super high in my opinion for what you got especially with being so close to the water. But I get it tourists... charge more. The crab was delicious and prepared well. But the other items we got were just meh. The clam chowder wasn't anything special and the fish tacos were strange in flavor combos. They didn't mesh; but the fish was cooked nicely. Our waitress was an adorable Asian girl that was really kind and on her A game handling all the tables. Our table was by a kiosk where the waiters come to put in orders and there was a Caucasian guy that worked there that was griping to his coworkers about cruise customers. Basically said I hate when the ships come in and we get all these customers. He just wasn't kind nor seemed like he wanted to be there. So being able to hear that was just off putting.

    Easily the best Food of our Alaskan Cruise!…read more After wasting time and money at one of the crab restaurants on the island we were still hungry as we waited for our shuttle. We saw this taco spot and figured we'd give it a shot. We ordered the blackened shrimp tacos and garlic butter scallop tacos, served with chips and mango salsa, and both were incredible. We're from Southern California and have had our fair share of seafood tacos -- these were some of the best! The chowder had great flavor and the mocha iced coffee hit the spot too. Great sized beer too. We were rushing to make our shuttle, and they got everything out quickly enough for us to enjoy our meal and still make it on time. Skip the long crab lines and tourist prices and head to Berth 4 instead. Great food, fair prices, indoor and outdoor seating. Foodie approved and highly recommend!

The menu had a few overwhelming choices. I landed on a fish sandwich, a fish taco, and seafood chowder - I could not finish everything. All of the food was really good, but the halibut sandwich stood out. The fish was tasty and had just the right amount of batter. The staff were very friendly and the food did not take long. The only thing I will call out is the place is pretty pricey -- but I'm not surprised since it is a touristy area. Overall - I liked the place.
