With abundant fresh seafood and a thriving culture of craft beer making, Juneau offers plenty of authentic Alaskan tastes for the gourmet traveler. King crab is king here, served in a flavor-packed bisque, as crab cakes, crab rolls, or as buckets of legs drenched in garlic butter and lemon.
Other specialties to try are salmon, which comes smoked, grilled, fried, or roasted. Fish and chips are a local favorite, consisting of flaky cod fried in a light batter and served with chunky fries. Reindeer sausages have a wonderfully smoky taste; try them with kelp salsa. Sweet treats include berry cobbler, made with local blueberries, cloudberries, and lingonberries, and served with homemade vanilla ice cream.
