The Ports of Call will be Ketchakan, Skegway, Juneau and Anchorage. Any recommendations on restaurants or culinary events? Fri Jun 12 11:20:42 -0700 2009 277344 Brooklyn Chef 1 4780017 I just got back from a NW trip- stayed in Juneau for 2 nights. 2 meals I recommend- the salmon bake at the Thane Ore House- all you can eat fresh salmon filets and beer battered halibut chunks with beef ribs (only focused on the fish) and a salad bar- located near the water overlooking Gastineau Way with bald eagles perched in the surrounding trees. Great time. The halibut stole the show. Tracy's King Crab Shack located downtown by the dock served some serious king crab. The cocktail, bisque and cluster were delicious. 3 legs and 2 claws for $47- not a bad deal. There are a couple of tables outdoors to enjoy the food. I hear that the Hangar and Twisted Fish offer fresh seafood and are worthy of a visit. My trip wasn't long enough to give them a try. If you were spending the night I'd suggest the Pelmeni House downtown. A great meal after a night of drinking some Alaskan ale. Tue Jun 16 21:16:02 -0700 2009 4767111 243775 HowfreshEats
