Seafood Feast

OVERVIEW

Savor a sumptuous meal of Alaskan favorites while enjoying spectacular views from the waterfront. Icy Strait Point was first developed in 1912 around a salmon cannery that operated until the fire of 1944 destroyed nearby Hoonah. The cannery was eventually converted into a support facility for the area’s fishing fleet, which thrives today. All the seafood for your feast will have been located caught in the deep cold waters off Icy Strait Point, so you can be sure that it will be fresh and flavorful. The menu includes shrimp and crab, which depending on the season may be king crab, which is prized for its sweet meat. The seafood is traditionally boiled in Southern seasoning, a preparation that really enhances the flavor. Other specialties include Andouille sausage – which has a sharper, smokier taste and a chunkier texture than most other sausages. For dessert, head for the campfire to roast marshmallows and make s’mores.
