    This donut shop was one of those must visit places .. so we did as the tourists do and got here early for donuts and a hot beverage. First you grab a laminated order sheet & expo marker from the bin, pick your donuts, beverage and box or no box. The line is long so get your order ready. They do have all the donuts on display in case you're more a visual person. Grab a tshirt or coffee mug as a souvenir before you get to the front. Orders are filled, each donut is served warm & fresh. Coffee drinks are made one at a time so bring your patience. They have a pink salmon donut that's supposed to be savory. I didn't try it but was told it tastes like cream cheese & salmon. I got the blueberry donut and a chai latte .. the donut was delicious. On our way back to the ship the line had doubled.. it was way down the street, so stop in early..

    On a recent Alaskan cruise, I tried the famous Salmon donut on the Ketchikan port day. My wife & I enjoyed the town and made this our last stop before getting back on the ship. As this spot is very near the dock, it was quite busy with tourists. I waited in line for about 45 minutes (which was the longest line I had all day). The shop itself is small, so the line started out on the sidewalk. After ordering, my donut came out pretty fast. I could see that it was "decorated" fresh to order (the donut was already baked, but the kitchen staff spread the spread and handed it to me). It was quite big, so I'm glad I only ordered one and shared it with my wife. The donut was very fluffy and soft, so it was a strange sensation to bite into it. I love salmon schmear on bagels, which are dense and chewy, so the softness was new. The donut also wasn't sweet (thank goodness!), so it paired nicely with the salmon. Overall, we enjoyed the donut. But in hindsight, I wish we waited until our Juneau port day to try this, as there is a larger location in that city with seating inside. The Ketchikan location doesn't have room inside, so we eat the donut right before boarding our cruise ship. It's also a one-time purchase, though I would try their sweet donuts on a future trip.

    Stopped by Jellyfish Donuts after arriving a cruise ship. When we arrived - there was a very short line. By the time we left, the line stretched down the street a bit. I ordered the salmon donut as well as the coco-dream. The coco-dream had cream cheese and coconut and tasted similar a sno-ball. I loved this - I haven't had a sno-ball in years!! The salmon donut pleasantly surprised me. It came out hot -- almost as if it were on a hot roll. The salmon spread was also very flavorful. Unless you get multiple donuts in a box (I didn't ) they give them to you in paper. This meant my hands were too full to take a picture. The place itself is really small and can get crowded quickly. They try to keep the line moving by having customers document their orders on dry erase menus that are positioned at the front door. Basically, you fill out your sheet, pay at the register -- and your order comes out a few minutes later. Pretty good donuts overall.

    Salmon donut? Check. Maple bacon? Check. Fruity Pebbles? Also check. If your philosophy is that donuts should occasionally make questionable life choices, you should head to Jellyfish Donuts. The menu is packed with creative flavors, from familiar favorites to combinations that make you do a double take. One thing I learned during our visit: timing matters. Some of the donuts we got were still warm, and the difference was remarkable. A fresh, warm donut went from "that's pretty good" to "okay... now I get it." The texture was softer, the glaze melted just enough, and the whole thing came together in a completely different way. So if you have the choice, ask what's fresh out of the oven. The shop itself is small, casual, and exactly what you'd hope to stumble across while wandering Ketchikan.

    decided to try jellyfish donuts after seeing wonderful reviews online about this donut shop. there was a very long line towards the end of my cruise ship's time ashore. i tried an assortment of donuts and the one that really stood out to me was the moose tracks one! one special aspect about this shop is that they keep all of the donuts plain and freshly glaze and add toppings. the donuts have just the right soft texture inside with different flavor profiles according to the flavors. they are definitely more on the pricey side for a donut. in total, this costed $45 for 4 donuts and 1 salmon donut. it line did take probably between 30 to 40 minutes of waiting and it is very compact inside. they also do have a lot of merchandise inside like sweatshirts and t-shirts that are very cute.

    We had to give it a try. Waited maybe 30 minutes in line. The cashier was super friendly once we got to him. I order a lavender and a chocolate sea salt donut. I did enjoy the flavor but the donuts we very dense. Not my preference when it comes to donuts. No hate, just not what I like. Fyi... Celebrity doesnt let you take them back on the ship

    I'm convinced this may be the most expensive donut shop in the country, maybe even in the world. Their specialty is the salmon donut which is just a regular donut with salmon cream cheese spread on top. Somehow, that costs more than $13. The donut itself is fresh with a nice texture but I don't think the spread goes well with it. The maple bacon glaze tastes good and goes well with the donut. Overall, the donut itself tastes fine, it did not wow me and I cannot justify the price. Even the paper box is an extra $1.

    The is was a must for our stop in port! As a donut connoisseur, trying the salmon donut was a fun experience. This location is a bit cramped and the line can go out the door, but the staff works hard and quickly to get people through. I recommend grabbing a few diverse options, extra napkins and forks, and enjoying as a group down by the ships!

    I came for the salmon donut and it was delicious! It was $13 + $1 for the box and tax. My total for one salmon donut was ~$15 but it was worth it! The shop is very small and the line is long but it moved quickly. Staff were very friendly and helpful even with a rush. The jellyfish theme is very cute and they also have merch inside for sale.

    Honestly one of the biggest food disappointments I've had in a while. This place is very overhyped, not worth the $6 price tag or even the stomach space. The dough wasn't good and the toppings were simple and not proportional. I would not recommend.

    This place is very popular, with line out the door. Salmon donut is basically a generous portion of salmon spread on top of a fresh donut with a sprinkle of chives. Obviously the star of the show is the salmon spread, the donut was merely a thing for the spread to go on, wish there was a way to highlight the donut as well. The size is fairly big, I split it with another person and felt like it was a good appetizer portion. Price is a bit steep but I think due to the cost of salmon

    So fresh

    When you're in Ketchikan, make a stop at Jellyfish Donuts. They charge a service fee for cards, so bring cash. We tried a classic glazed and a strawberry donut and both were delicious. No indoor seating and the wait can get long when ships are in port. I did overhear that locals get a discount, so definitely go if you're local. Everything was super fresh. If you want to take donuts back, or wait to eat them later, you will pay for a box.

    They were alriiiiight... not worthy of the hype in my opinion. It's a small hole in the wall with a long line. The donuts were creatively made, but cold and lacking flavor. At $6 per donut, I'd expect more.

    Funky, small shop
