    Salmon market was by far my favorite place as my family and I did our own unofficial walking tour through town. There are a lot of great things to see in other places, but this is the best place for a cup of coffee and by far the best place that we encountered to buy local smoked salmon and other Alaska delicacies to cram into our suit cases and take back home with us. We got two types of salmon, some pickled seaweed salad, and I don't even remember what else, with the initial intention of sharing these as souvenirs with people we love. Now that I'm home and thinking about my decision to get these things away, I just might keep everything for myself because the salmon that we tasted while we were there was spectacular and I think I love it more than people! I'm definitely a fan and I don't know if I will ever be in that part of the world again but if I am, l'll stock up on their smoked salmon's and other treats. Oh! By the way! I got to sample the reindeer sausage and I just might go back and get some because for a reason that escapes me, I didn't buy it when I had the chance.

    You can't come to Alaska and not bring back smoked salmon! We stopped in here and bought 3 different types and some reindeer sticks. They let us try both before we bought them! I can't wait to make a smoked salmon dip with it!!

    Beautiful packaging but make sure they don't try to scam you.

    Update: 1 month later, the owner reached out and refunded the extra charge. I wish it didn't take two unanswered phone calls and a negative Yelp review to get their attention, but they have corrected the mistake.

    Bagel with lox

    We got a smoked salmon cream cheese bagel and a traditional bagel with lox. Both exceptional. It's a bit pricey but after 6 days of cruise food it was a really special treat.

    My favorite snack on crackers with cream cheese!!!!!

    Wow! Just wow!! I want to move to Alaska just so I can come to this market on a daily basis!!! I wish I could give this store a million stars! It deserves it and exceeds all expectations! Every time we go to Alaska in the summer with the family, we have to stop by this store. It's our family tradition. The CUSTOMER SERVICE is top notch! All the staff members are so accommodating with their recommendations and trying to help you navigate through items in the store. The owner by far is one of the nicest human beings I have ever met! He is so personable and honest! He is such a pleasure to be around! While we were visiting him a few years ago, we noticed other couples taking pictures with him and buying boxes of items to take back home. I immediately thought,"who would go to Alaska every year" and now I know why! It's like a mini reunion when you go to his store with past customers coming back. This store carries the best products in Alaska, so unbelievably fresh and tasty! I tried the fresh smoked salmon from the refrigerator and bought two packets. I finished it all by myself for breakfast in two days!!! (Sorry husband). We got multiples of everything displayed in the pictures and this is all that's left which will be consumed very shortly! We have tried all these before from previous visits and keep adding more to our list of favorite items! The Alaskan kelp pickles are AMAZING!!!! They are so good! We seriously put them on everything and it tastes so much better!!! The Campfire Salsa made from Alaskan kelp makes for a great appetizer! We were hosting friends and they all fell in love with this! They immediately placed their orders online with other items and got free shipping! (Such a great deal) The smoked salmon in the packets made for such a great addition to pasta!!! We used to make it with sausage or diced chicken but it tastes a lot better with GREAT quality salmon!!!! The canned sockeye salmon is one of my favorite snacks on a cracker with creamed cheese! That's all I eat during the day to munch on!!! You have NOT seen Alaska UNTIL you have been to this store! It's Alaska in your mouth! Highly recommend this store!!!!

    A great selection of salmon goods to bring home after you quick stop at Ketchikan. It is great they always have a table in the front of the store to let you try out a variety of their products before buying them! Really enjoyed the reindeer sausage and salmon jerky so my family and I bough a couple back home. They have some deals as well for BOGO free. Nice little shop for edible souvenirs.

    Stopped by here to get some smoked salmon, jerky, and dip. The price is a bit high, but I was willing to splurge for some Alaskan salmon to bring back home and send to a couple of friends. The lovely staff quickly helped me finding the one that they served for sample tastings, which was tasty indeed, and wrapped up my order in a box for easy transit. The store has everything and anything salmon, from salmon cavier to a vast variety of canned smoked salmon. Very impressed with the selection. Their space is very small, so I can imagine it can feel crowded with customers. I was there (around 1PM) so be prepared to have patience while you peruse and shop here. I'm glad I made the stop here!

    I'm so upset. My boyfriend and I visited while on a stop for a cruise and brought over $100 worth of product. I am home and opened the packaging on the sockeye and coho smoked salmon and the salmon is spoiled and has worms. I'm so disgusted I do not trust or want to open any of the other products we bought from them. I want a refund but can't reach a live person!

My husband and I are avid oyster lovers and when I saw this as an excursion choice I knew we had to go! Pick-up from the dock was easy and since we were the first tour, it was just us and one other person! Everyone from our driver, the capt, and staff at Hump Island were so welcoming, friendly, and informative about the area. With our group being so small, it felt more intimate and enjoyable. Our boat ride was great to and from Hump Island because our captain made sure to show us around and we were able to catch glimpses of bald eagles and whales! Once we arrived to Hump Island Oyster Co we were greeted and given such detail about the process at the farm. Our kids got to enjoy their touch tank and even spotted some jellyfish! Once upstairs, we enjoyed raw and charbroiled oysters along with some amazing salsas and sauces. The whole experience reminded my husband and I of that of wine tasting, but with oysters. Conversation flowed and the laid back atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. It was magical being in this part of Alaska and enjoying fresh oysters shucked right in front of us and grown right there. Thank you, Hump Island Oyster Co! We look forward to making our way back in the future and can't recommend this tour enough to others on cruises or visiting Ketchikan!

    If you look closely at your cruise ship contract, you might note a subsection that says, "All…read morepassengers will be expected, upon arrival in Ketchikan, to emulate local salmon and travel upstream to Creek Street." (Spawning is optional since prostitution was outlawed there in the 1950s. Yes, the 1950s. I know.) You will pass all kinds of worthy shops selling local goods on the way, but try to leave a little shine on your Visa card for Sam McGee's. Of all the shops we stepped in and out of between the furthest berth at the dock and Creek Street (and I think mean ALL the shops), this was the most attractive and fun with a selection varied enough that I ran out of energy to point at stuff. One of the advantages of Sam McGee's is the layout. With multiple entrance and exit points, you can move through the store and linger at displays instead of shoving your way in then craning your neck around other visitors. (There were three ships in port that day.) Especially attractive is the back verandah (again, with two exits) where you can leisurely stand and look over the creek. There's even enough room to step aside for a phone call. ("Dad! I'm calling from ALASKA!" Those of you born back when long distance was a thing saved for calling grandma on her birthday can appreciate this.) The wares themselves are not much different than what you will find elsewhere in town, although it's a lovely problem to have to choose between so many different brands of salmonberry jam. Luckily the store had a tasting cart set up, so we were able to make an informed decision and not just give in to my first impulse, which was to grab every adorable little jelly, cookie cutter, or knicknack and scream "PRECIOUSSSSS!" Seriously, this shop is as cute as can be, with the train running along the ceiling and the vintage gold rush-era glass bottles (for sale!) and who knows how many other things I missed while trying to choose the perfect mustard. (We went with ginger birch Moosetard.) Oh, and if you missed the Glacier Silt Soap shack while in Juneau, you can get it and many other local soaps here, although my husband was trying to steer me away from the display so I can't report further on this. (Probably because the Glacier Silt Soap shack in Juneau went into extended operating hours when I visited. I have a wee fondness for the suds.) (I did have one criticism about Sam McGee's, but then I looked at the map and saw that what I thought was the mineral "area" of the shop is actually a different store entirely; it's just connected to Sam McGee's. Anyway, beware of the very pretty gold leaf sold in bottles at the adjacent shop. They look like nice Alaskan souvenirs, but the gold actually comes from Brazil. Pft.) I know Sam McGee's is "just" a souvenir shop, but it's an attractive, fun place that sells just about every goodie you might want except for T-shirts and possibly salmon. (For T-shirts, there is the rest of Creek Street. For salmon, there is the rest of Ketchikan.) They even have a corner just for dog lovers, and be sure to note the many signs reminding you of how easy it is to ship stuff home. (In other words, don't be like us and remember those signs after being pulled over by the TSA at the airport. I'm pretty sure Sam McGee's would've cut us a better deal than twenty bucks' worth of panicked FedEx from the airport all because I forgot it was 2012.)

    I went here with my grandma to buy a souvenir. There was a shop dog roaming around inside unleashed…read moreand came up to me and sniffed my leg. I lowered my hand down for it to smell me and it BIT MY HAND and started barking loudly. Don't have an animal in your shop if it's not friendly. Imagine if that were to happen to an unsuspecting child. Completely disappointed in that shop.
