Alaskan Oyster Shack

I absolutely loved everything about the Alaskan Oyster Shack! The oysters were incredibly fresh, some of the best I’ve ever had. I also got a half dozen BBQ’d right on the spot that were amazing. The location was perfect. The shack was just a short walk from the cruise dock but far enough from the crowds to feel like a hidden gem. The owners were so friendly and great to chat with. You can really tell they care about what they do. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves oysters and is looking for a fun, laid-back place to enjoy them. I hope they start shipping soon!

We were on a Princess cruise (The Royal Princess) and we docked in Ketchikan right by the Alaskan Oyster Shack. I knew they were going to be great and I wasn't disappointed at all. I got them just before boarding the ship after a really fun morning seeing the town in the pouring rain. Rain was not going to stop me from enjoying these oysters and I was soaked, but thoroughly enjoyed them. The lady selling them was really friendly and her husband is a local fisherman. These were the best oysters I've ever had! I'm guessing they were Miyagi oysters (I should have asked). If you're on the Royal Princess (or any ship, we happened to be the closest), do yourself a favor and support a local business while enjoying an amazing culinary experience. The presentation in a bowl on ice was fantastic

This is such an awesome place, owned by long time Ketchikan residents. Let me tell you: you won’t find oysters this fresh anywhere else! They source all of their oysters locally, helping other local area businesses and offering you a taste of the fresh Alaskan ocean! You can definitely taste the difference. They also have a handful of sauces and accoutrement to complement your oysters. In the afternoons they also offer grilled oysters and their secret seasoning mix is to die for! Come quick, they only have a limited supply every day! It’s also great to support locally owned and operated businesses, especially ones owned by a childhood friend!

My husband LOVED the raw oysters and slurped them down happily with a bit of the house sauce. Sweet staff behind the counter, and the owners were on site talking about the product and sustainability. Great food and experience!

First-Class Oysters. The best I have ever had. I highly recommended stopping by and seeing Jase and Maura at the Alaskan Oyster Shack. Ordered the dozen and had to go back for a second dozen!
