Alaska Fishing & Wilderness Dining

OVERVIEW

Go fishing on an open-deck skiff in the pristine waters off Ketchikan and then gather around a crackling campfire and enjoy a classic Alaskan fish dinner. The captain will assess the water conditions and choose a secluded spot where you will have the best chance of catching numerous Alaskan bottom fish species. To add to the fun, you will use light tackle so even average-size fish will be more exciting to land. After a couple of hours on the water, you will disembark on the shore of a spruce and cedar rainforest and settle in while the camp cook prepares dinner. The bottom-feeders that you have caught will be served atop a saffron-infused bouillabaisse. Seasoned potatoes in homemade fish broth, warm sourdough rolls and rhubarb-blueberry crisp round out the menu.
