Sea Daddy — Restaurant in Alaska

If Anthony Bourdain was still of this world, this hidden gem of simple, remarkably fresh fish, pert owner and cook, would be world famous by now. The shack looks like it was assembled from parts found in a ship graveyard. Step inside and you’ll find a hodgepodge of pictures and storylines pertaining to the untold stories of Sitka and Alaska. Then there’s the owner, Scottie Saline. Part historian, contrarian, but 100% your Sea Daddy. The process is simple. You order from the non existent menu, whatever the fresh catch-of-the-day may be, $20 cash only. The fresh, flaky cousine will come deep fried on a stick, in a paper Pepsi cup with a wedge of lemon and a baggie of homemade tartar heaven. Then set back and enjoy Sea Daddy’s masterfully assembled historical journey as he explains some of the stories behind the pictures lining his makeshift menagerie. You come for the eats but the show will leave you savoring his...

I wish Google had a six-star option, because Sea Daddy's would get it! Best fried fish—"Sitka-bobs"—the proprietor, Scotty, is calling them. Incredible battered yelloweye and halibut on a stick, delicious secret recipe tartar (even though the fish really doesn't need it), and the best atmosphere you'll find in Sitka, I guarantee. You'll have to walk off the beaten pathway, away from the hordes of cruise ship people, but what you'll find will not disappoint. Scotty even let us take his canoe for a spin on the bay while he cooked our fish (yes, he even has a few PFDs you can use as seat cushions.) Paddle out, get a family selfie, and let Scotty host your experience that you'll never forget. Bring cash and a sense of adventure... THIS is what experiencing Alaska...

At first look you think is this the place? YES it is! Let's start with the fish... had the yellow eye, perfectly fried and the homemade sauce to go with it was great (malt vinegar, lemon, chives) was a perfect compliment. He nails the fish perfectly and some of the best fried fish ive had.

There is one table and a little room to stand and eat makes this place seem like its a hidden gem only the locals would know about.

The decor was all old items with lots of history that has been collected, and if your wise you'll ask your host about the place and hear some great stories about the area!

If you like off the beaten path, this is it. Stop by grab some fish and keep...
