The Fisherman’s Daughter — Restaurant in Hoonah

Fantastic little spot off the beaten path in Hoonah for breakfast, lunch, & coffees. The food was great & the staff was really friendly. If you're looking for a local spot with a fantastic menu selection, this is a place the fits that perfectly. We enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits tasted like grandmas, and the gravy was absolutely delicious. Lots of sausage. We also had the breakfast burrito. It was very filling and a great combination with the cheese melted perfectly. On the lunch menu, the beer, battered halibut was definitely a win. The breading was light and perfect. You could definitely tell the fish was fresh, not like something you would get at a restaurant in the lower 48. The blackened halibut tacos were a win as well. The combination of slaw, salsa and halibut was great. There was honestly nothing we tried on the menu during our stay in Hoonah that we didn't like.

The service was slow but not that bad. I mean you’re in Alaska…. enjoy the scenery. The younger guy taking the orders was super friendly. One girl younger had no smiles and not that friendly. The other girl a little older than the other had smiles and was friendly.

Friendliness and smiles go a long way especially when you’re paying for a high...

I know that you’re looking at the reviews and saying it can’t be real, or the food is good only for the standards of that little town. Or fish tacos in Hoonah? come on, man! Put your skepticism aside for a second and see that great food can be had anywhere, and the Fisherman’s Daughter is one of those great joys to find for someone who loves to discover great restaurants. First, the reviews are real; the food is good in comparison to anywhere, and the fish tacos are good here, yes, in Hoonah. The service is friendly and fast and the food portions are pretty large. If you’re coming from one of the those cruise ships take the shuttle or walk for 20-25 minutes to eat some delicious offering that is probably better than anything those specialty restaurants in the ship...
