Ketchikan Crab & Go

We stopped in this town during our Alaska cruise, and after walking around and exploring, most of the food spots felt a little too touristy. Then we stumbled upon this place—and I’m so glad we did. Our bartender took the time to explain the menu and how the food is sourced, which was impressive. The rest of the staff was just as welcoming and informative. It felt genuine—unlike a lot of other places that just try to move you along. The atmosphere was great, with beautiful views. The clam chowder bread bowl was one of the best we had on the entire trip. But if there’s one thing you have to try, it’s the halibut fish and chips—hands down some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. I can’t wait to come back to this town and enjoy a long, relaxed meal here again.

Atmosphere – 5 stars Located in the Salmon Landing Market right in the heart of the tourist area, this spot has an easygoing, casual vibe with warm nautical decor. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and we were able to get a table right away. The space was very clean and inviting — a great place to relax and enjoy fresh Alaskan seafood. Service – 5 stars Our server, Tiffany, was absolutely fantastic — super friendly, helpful, and checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. Excellent, attentive service from start to finish. Food – 5 stars Yes, it’s a little on the pricey side — but completely worth it. We had the best King Crab we’ve ever tasted, along with halibut fish and chips that were cooked to perfection. The clam chowder was rich and flavorful. When

If you are in Ketchikan on a cruise or a visit this place is a must do. The halibut fish and chips was heavenly, with white flaky fish in a perfectly (I mean perfect) light batter. We also tried the crab patty melt which was absolutely delicious and of course the cold crab was amazing. Madison, one of the owners, was a delight along with our waitress. Again, this is a must do if travel to Ketchikan.

All of the staff was attentive but Rochelle was the best. She gave suggestions, gave us the background of the restaurant, and answered any and all of our questions. The red king crab was succulent and so flavorful even though is served chilled. The crab fries are pricey but so worth it and much better than Maryland's crab fries.

Crab & Go in Ketchikan is the perfect spot for a quick and delicious lunch right on the pier. The crab was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—easily one of the best meals we had on our trip! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. We stopped in just before heading back to our cruise ship, and it was the ideal way to wrap up our day in Ketchikan. Highly recommend grabbing a bite here if you’re in town—you won’t be disappointed!
