Alaska - Eating

I must have eaten well or at least a lot as I gained 10 pounds!  I've already lost some and am feeling fine about it.  I made it a point to eat a lot of fish even though generally it isn't what I would choose.  I have always said I didn't like salmon but  when it is fresh.....bring it on. One of my favorite things with salmon was the salmon tacos I had in Ketchikan.

I had cod, king crab legs, smoked salmon, scallops, mussels, lobster (not as good as in Maine at all), haddock and shrimp that I can remember for fish.  I tried reindeer sausage and an elk burger.  I did have pizza one night and turkey another. But I really did try to eat "Alaskan".

While on the cruise ship it was impossible not to overeat. I had 2 appetizers every night, once or twice two entrees and often 2 desserts.  I loved the chilled soup!  My favorite dessert was the chocolate sensation which I had most nights and of course I had baked Alaskan. I had to.

I loved dinners on the cruise ship staring out the window at the ocean going by.  Loved it.

Cod at Denali Brewing

Best dessert the whole time - in Alyeska. I don't know

what it was called. It was something chocolate.

A sampler  - smoked salmon, crab legs, shrimp

Salmon on a plank.  

Orange mousse - YUM!

Chocolate sensation

Chilled soup - I liked the red berry ones the best.

Baked Alaska

A dessert sampler.  The cake was flourless.  Fantastic.

Scallops

This was my breakfast on the train which included reindeer sausage.  It was excellent.

Pasta with mussels, shrimp and I have forgotten what other fish.

Believe me there was more but these are some of the highlights.
