There are several well-known dishes and delicacies in Alaska that locals love and tourists search for. From our famously fresh salmon and king crab legs to our ripe, wild berries that we brag about all summer long, you can never run out of amazing dishes to try in our state. Here are some of the most mouth-watering, iconic foods in Alaska that you absolutely must try.

1. Reindeer Dogs

Reindeer Dogs are truly the most famous Alaskan street food, minus the fact that you can buy reindeer sausage in many states. We suggest trying the "sled dogs" the next time you're in

Carcoss, just stop in at the Authentic Sourdough Bakery! You'll be handed a delicious reindeer sausage baked and wrapped in sourdough, yum.

2. Smoked Salmon Anything

We all know salmon in Alaska is fresh, mouthwatering, and very popular. In fact, it's probably one of the foods Alaska is most known for. But let's face it, you can get salmon anywhere, so we suggest spicing it up a bit and trying a smoked salmon chowder bowl at Gwin's in Cooper Landing, one of the oldest restaurants in Alaska. You'll be extremely pleased with your order.

3. Black Cod

You haven't lived if you haven't tried this fish. Fresh Black Cod is more delicious than you can ever imagine, especially if you head down to the J-Dock Seafood Company in Seward. They marinate it in soy sauce and lemon juice and then grill it to perfection.

4. Chocolate Bread

We know this is more specific than most of the iconic dishes, but basically, any baked good at Two Sisters Bakery in Homer (particularly the mouthwatering, dark chocolate chunk filled Chocolate Bread) is an iconic Alaskan food experience. And yes, your mouth WILL water.

5. Gumbo

Believe it or not, Alaska has some great gumbo, and we mean that. We suggest stopping in at the infamous Double Muskie in Girdwood and trying their spectacular gumbo dish.

6. Any fresh jam or dessert with berries

We have a slew of decadent wild berries in Alaska. We have everything from wild blueberries, cranberries, salmonberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and much more. So don't hesitate to order anything "berry," and we strongly suggest High Bush Cranberry Jam, or, of course, any wild berry cobbler.

7. Crab... duh

Fresh King and Dungeness Crab is our area of expertise in Alaska. But if you want the best of the best, then there is only one place to go... Tracy’s King Crab Shack on the docks of Juneau. Who doesn't love waterfront dining and insanely fresh crab legs?

8. Eskimo Ice Cream

A real Alaskan treat that few get the opportunity to enjoy is called "Eskimo Ice Cream," or more accurately, "Aqutak" or "Agutuk." It is about as Alaskan as you can get in the dessert category. To make this iconic Alaskan dish you whip together seal oil, reindeer (and any other animals) fat, snow, and wild Alaskan berries.

9. Muktuk

Another native favorite is Muktuk, a traditional Alaskan food. It's the combination of whale blubber and skin frozen together and eaten raw. It's a pretty dish, but you'd have to be pretty brave to try it!

10. Any other wild game!

There are plenty of wild meats to try when you're dining at new places in Alaska, like this Indian-Alaskan fusion dish topped with moose meat! From bear and moose to endless Alaskan aquatic delicacies, never stop letting your taste buds explore and try it all. Who knows, you might find your new favorite Alaskan food.
