The Decadent Alaska Food Experience
By. Tammy Foster

Alaska food is one of the things that make this state one of the "must see" places to visit in the US. Yes, the scenery and the wildlife are divine, but wait until you sink your teeth into some of Alaska's food specialties like the king crab, shrimp, cod, clams, oysters and even elk, and caribou. Yum!

The beauty of this state's food is that is can be enjoyed so fresh because it doesn't have to be shipped in! The food is right there in Alaska and it just has to be caught and enjoyed. Seriously, what could be better than really fresh seafood and game?

One of the other fantastic finds in Alaska is their sourdough bread. Many Alaskan families enjoy this bread so much that they use the starter dough for a majority of their breads and other baked goods.

Some folks think that the pioneers were responsible for bringing the scrumptious sourdough to the Alaska wilderness since they found it to be an easy traveler as well as a great food on the trail.

Here's something else that you have to try in Alaska and that is the wild game! Think about enjoying a great Alaskan meal of reindeer, elk, moose and even caribou.

Since Alaskans do a lot of hunting, most of the game they catch simply goes into a soup because it is easy and hearty for those chilly Alaskan nights.

If wild game and seafood galore are not your idea of culinary heaven, then you can still enjoy the great foods of Alaska. One of the surprising delights of Alaska is the number of ethnic restaurants that have cropped up over the years.

The abundance of these ethnic tastes is mainly because of its location in relation to the Pacific. Along with the ethnic foods, Scandinavian dishes are popular too thanks to recipes passed down from generation to generation from the initial Scandinavian settlers.

If you cannot find what you're looking for in Alaska then you're looking for something which perhaps you should just do without. Alaska has such a diverse selection of extraordinary foods.

Most of these foods are from Alaskan-grown animals which gives them such a fresh taste. You see that fish there on your plate as you enjoy dinner on your Alaskan vacation? Well that scrumptious Alaska food was caught only a couple hours ago. It's that incredible freshness that makes Alaska foods stand fork and spoon above all other cuisine. You simply must enjoy.
