ON THE MENU
AND TO DRINK
Want an Alaska meal to
remember? Look for dishes
with locally caught seafood.
Some of our favorite options are
alder-grilled salmon, cod tacos,
halibut chowder, and Alaska
king crab legs (learn more at
wildalaskaseafood.com).
You can pair your choice with
Alaska-grown side dishes, like
potato gnocchi and steamed
veggies. Then go for a sweet
finish with an Alaska-flavored
ice cream, like moose tracks,
wild Alaska blueberry, or birch-
walnut. It's a locavore feast!
Raise a glass to Alaska's booming
local beverage scene! We have
world-class craft breweries, and
local gin and vodka distilleries
using distinctive local ingredients
like Delta barley and spruce tips
to create one-of-a-kind flavors.
Alaskans even make mead from
fireweed honey, and wine with
local blueberries or elderberries.
Or toast your trip with the
ultimate Alaska cocktail:
a Bloody Mary featuring
Alaska smoked salmon vodka
(seriously!)—the smoky flavor
gives the tomato juice an extra
depth and amazing zing.
There's no better way to get to
know a place than by sampling
its foods and beverages.
