    Alaska Fish House - Fish and chips sampler: salmon, halibut, cod

    Alaskan Fish House was excellent! It's located right next to the Lumberjack Show and is within…read morewalking 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!

    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.

    Went here on a port day when cruising through Alaska with a friend. A local recommended it for the…read morecasual atmosphere and the crab. My roommate likes crab, I don't much care for seafood. This will be relevant later. Positives: roomier got the clamp chowder and said it was the best he's ever had in his 72 years. High praise! He didn't end up getting the crab, he figured for the price he would have preferred a different environment. Less than positives: The chowder was like a large cup. A bowl would have been better. I got a chicken sandwich. For $20+ I would have preferred something different. The bun was good, but the rest of the sandwich was just OK. The chicken seemed like it was a frozen patty and the fries that came with it were not my thing, either. They were crispy (good) but the seasoning was a lemon-pepper/dill combo and it was overpowering. Overall, I gave 4 stars since the roomie loved his soup. I attached a picture of my unfinished plate for reference.

    Stopped in for lunch. My table ordered chicken tenders and they came out completely raw. Not a very…read morebusy restaurant and the waitress took about 10 minutes to get our sodas and waters. I ordered the King Crab leg and claw for a pretty penny and was severely disappointed with the portion. Not worth it. Had to get something else to eat after to fill me up. Manager said he would discount our meal and never did. Nice atmosphere, but not worth the price or the service.
