Top choice in Ketchikan
This slightly pricey seafood restaurant, usually touted among locals as the best in town, recently reopened in a new cruise-dock location on Berth 4. Expect larger than normal crowds descending on its modern ocean-themed interior to feast on creative seafood and chowder renditions.
For a taster, draw lots between the impressive fish tacos, coconut prawns, ahi (yellowfin tuna), and crab and pesto gnocchi.
