Alaska Fish House
The Alaska Fish House
A cannery-style seafood spot overlooking Thomas Basin's fishing boats, known for its smoked salmon chowder and three-fish fish and chips.
Started in 2005 as a fish-and-chips window, it sits at Salmon Landing No. 3, beside the lumberjack show and a few minutes' walk from the cruise terminal. Its open, cannery-style seating faces the fishing fleet in Thomas Basin. The signature smoked salmon chowder is often singled out (and sometimes sells out). The fish and chips can be made with cod, halibut or salmon, and the three-fish "Alaska sampler" lets you try them all at once. Other options include halibut or salmon tacos, Dungeness crab, and black pepper halibut rice bowls. Diners are often given smoked salmon cornbread samples when ordering. Lines are long at midday on cruise days.
