Twisted Fish

The Twisted Fish Company-Alaskan Grill

550 South Franklin Street

Juneau, Alaska 99801

(907) 586-8173

The Twisted Fish is a superb restaurant if you’re interested in tasting some of Alaska’s finest seafood. They are only open during the summer month (May-Sept). Since it’s a favorite among locals and it’s located right next to the cruise ship docks, it can get quite busy so I suggest making a reservation.

And if you’re interested in taking some seafood home to your family and friends, step next door to Taku Smokeries. They offer a wide variety of seafood plus they’ll even ship it home for you.

Surprise

For Mother’s Day, my husband and our two children surprised me by taking me up the Mt. Roberts Tram for a hike and then out to lunch at the Timberline Bar and Grill (located at the top of the mountain). We were fortunate to have a window seat, which enabled us to watch the tram cars go up and down the mountain every five minutes plus look down on Juneau. I took this photo while we were waiting for our food to arrive. My husband and I had seafood quesadillas (with halibut, salmon, crab, and shrimp), which is riddled with delicious jalapenos. If your not a fan of hot, spicy food, I wouldn’t recommend it. Our kids each had a giant nacho platter. They were so large that they could have shared one. You should have seen the look on their faces when the waitress brought them. It was priceless. It was definitely a very special Mother’s Day.

Red Dog Saloon

Built during the mining era, the Red Dog Saloon is Juneau’s oldest man made establishment. Today it’s both a restaurant and a saloon (they also have a gift shop next door). Inside they continue to maintain its rustic décor. I’ve heard some say they love it and others say they hate it. So, if you’re looking for a fine dining experience keep walking, but if you’re looking for an old time Alaskan experience, have a bite to eat, a drink, or both and enjoy the atmosphere.
