Ketchikan isn’t called the tinned salmon capital of the world for nothing. Seafood is incorporated in all sorts of dishes, from chowders and omelettes to sandwiches and burgers. You’ll find plenty of American staples, but for a taste of the local culture, try some traditional native foods like beach asparagus or seaweed. And for a pick-me-up, have a cup of locally roasted Raven’s Brew Coffee.
The pier is home to speciality shops, galleries and boutiques. But be sure to wander around central Ketchikan for local finds like authentic Alaskan art, native crafts, furs and jewellery.
