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!

Tourist trap that unfortunately has 1) overpriced mediocre food and 2) the customer service of an…read moreangsty 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.

I happened to find this restaurant through recommendations amongst staff from the cruise ship!…read more I was feeling a lot of motion sickness from the rocking of the cruise ship so I summoned the rest of my strength to mosey down to this restaurant and ordered some wonton soup. I asked for extra ginger to help myself feel better and this wonton soup literally brought me back to life. I order a second one portion because it was that amazing; with every sip and bite of wonton I felt all that much better. The two ladies running the shop were extremely sweet and very nice. It's a cozy little restaurant with little snacks for sale and was quite busy with people zipping in and out. Truly one of my most memorable stops and finds on this amazing NCL cruise.

We ordered the lumpia, pork asado, and cassava cake. We're really familiar with lumpia, so that was the first thing we dug into. It wasn't what I was used to, and was loaded with veggies, and the sauce was different too. It was a soy based sauce instead of the usual sweet chili. We tried to get the BBQ pork sticks, but it was too early. Total bummer. The employees were helpful, and fairly friendly, and it was a fun spot while in port. They had plenty of seating and a restroom (for customers). Even with the differences, it was a still a nice treat.

We made a plan to walk over when we got back to the port and so we did just that. When we arrived, there was no one in line so we ordered quickly. I went with the cod fish and chips while hubby ordered the halibut fish and chips. Both were outstanding! The halibut and cod were flavorful and both had a really good crunch from the batter. The chips were decent as well. The service was fast and friendly. It's a small shack, one man was taking orders while another was behind him cooking. I love supporting small local businesses like D's Fish and Chip Shack. Keep up the great work guys!

Unfortunately, after much prebuilt excitement to visit that little shop, we left disappointed…read more Lured in by the owner to sample various salmon products and loving the taste of them, we were made to believe those products were exclusively made for this specific shop. So we stocked up on items worth over $200 total, including some gifts for our friends. Then, on the way out we saw another shop just around the corner and decided to see if we could get a few more things. Well... that other shop had mostly the same items but at much lower prices. In the most extreme case, we're talking the same exact item (brand, size, and packaging) costing $5.95 when we just bought several of those at the Salmon Market for $16.95 each! I could understand a $1-2 price difference between different stores, but this was ***3x the price***... We went back to see if we could return them so we could buy them at the other store, and Salmon Market ended up price matching which means this item was never worth anywhere near that price and they absolutely knew that. This left a sour taste in our mouths and I suggest you shop around 2-3 other stores before buying anything there.

It looks as if they have perhaps 3 small stills that you can see from an observation window and open doorway to the distillery proper. They have a variety of spirits: Whiskey, gin and vodka. Their whisky is a sourgum whisky... so not sure they have intentions to move towards a proper bourbon. Whisky old fashion was different. It's a booze style old fashioned without any sort of mixer... but it was good. Truth be told I'm a little envious that I don't have a distillery in any former Fire Station.
