Where to Eat in Sitka, Alaska
For a small island town tucked along the Southeast coast, Sitka serves up some delicious food. As locals, we have to admit our favorite food is food we hunt, fish and gather ourselves. Nothing is quite as tasty as a freshly caught King Salmon, Rock-Fish Tacos, Black Cod tips, buttered spot prawns, king crab….oh man….my mouth is watering! But even if you’re here for a day or a few of them, there are some great on the town options for eating as well. These are our favorite places to grab a bite — each one locally loved and full of flavor.
Best Breakfast & Brunch - Sitka Wildflour
Start your morning at Sitka Wildflour, a charming café and bakery that locals can’t get enough of (Pssssst. Pre-order online to skip the line!) Their croissant sandwiches are legendary, the pastries are flakey perfection, and this place even makes me crave a salad with how delicious their hearty kale salad is! This is a year-round business!
Seriously: Order online to skip the line — this spot gets busy for a reason!

Located at the downtown roundabout, The Fresh Fish is a locally owned food truck that I cannot help but celebrate any sunny day with a dish of their Salmon Poké.
