Shhhhhhh! Don't tell anybody this...but sometimes I'm cheap! Of course, I also realize that this may be our last visit to Alaska....and I (we) certainly did not want to miss out on all of the great seafood restaurants in each cruise port. We know that all of the food is free on the cruise ship - morning, noon and night - but we like to eat (a lot!)....and it's sometimes worthwhile to splurge on other food! We always treat each good meal or restaurant like it's a YOLO experience while on vacation.....
We also adhere to the seafood philosophy (we see food....we eat it!).
(Ketchikan, Alaska Fish House)
(Juneau, Alaska Twisted Fish Co.)
(Skagway, AK Fish Co.)
Fishing is a huge industry up here in Alaska, and we figured it would be well-worth it to break down and splurge on some freshly caught Alaskan King Crab. Expensive yes! Huge yes! Delicious yes! What else couldn't we resist? A plate of salmon mac & cheese (uh, yes, it was damn good!). A bowl of seafood chowder (I had to have one in each port!). Halibut tacos (a little light on the halibut, but heavy on the taco in Ketchikan). And a basket of fish and chips (our Welcome to Skagway lunch). Total seafood cost so far? Only $9,000 dollars!!! Geesh! It's a good thing we're both teachers and can afford all of it! (haha)
(holy King Crab legs!!!)
