The salmon class was one of the best cooking classes I have ever taken. Recipes were delicious. I look forward to making them again.
The kitchen venue was top shelf and Judi, Danielle and Emily were fantastic. If you want an elevated authentic Alaskan cooking class hosted by born and raised Alaskan women this is your type of experience. The food was amazing to eat and as a bonus Emily had several photos of her five generations of commercial fishing family and unique boutique gift items you won’t find in all the large scale gift shops.

Thank you for joining us! We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us.
Well organized. Very good event. Instructors are patient. The recipes are outstanding, the salmon is fresh and tasty, Great experience. We will be making all of the recipes when we return home. This is even better, if it's raining, lol. Just do it, you will not be disappointed.
We love to cook and really enjoyed our experience. We were fortunate to be the only students the day we attended and had so much fun! This was definitely one of the highlights of our 23 day cruise.
Nothing better than friendly, kind locals sharing their tricks in preparing fresh, tasty, local salmon! One of the favorite things on our trip!
My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class! Emily was excellent! From communicating about the meetup place to the laid-back atmosphere of the class- this was one of the highlights of our entire Alaskan cruise experience. Emily was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The location is perfect for cruisers, and the “classroom”/ kitchen is beautiful. Plus, the food was the best we ate on the whole trip. Looking forward to making the recipes again at home. 100% would take the class again and/or recommend to anyone!
The class was a great experience, especially for anyone who’s coming in to Ketchikan to fish. We had a great time.
A nice way to spend a couple hours learning different ways to prepare salmon. The hosts were friendly and enjoyable. The food was delicious. It's right on the water, so you may get lucky and see a whale while you are there, like we did!

Thanks Rene! What a treat that was! So glad you got to see it.
This was such a fun and memorable excursion and the food was incredible! Emily and Danielle were so sweet and did an amazing job teaching us. If you’re looking to escape the crowds and enjoy something more private and personal, this is the perfect choice!

Wow, thank you! We wish you so much luck in your new venture! See ya in Vermont!
Emily and Danielle were great hosts. The salmon was caught by Emily’s dad. She had good tips on how to best prepare salmon and was very knowledgeable about the different types of salmon. Everything was very tasty. It’s an easy walk from all cruise ship berths. Highly recommend for all foodies!

Thanks so much Remi! We enjoyed our time with you two!
Excellent way to spend time in Ketchikan! Emily and Danielle were both outstanding. Had a great time making the delicious salmon based dishes...and then eating them of course! It's a small group with individual attention in a lovely space. Highly recommend if you are in Ketchikan.

Thanks David! We hope the rest of your trip is amazing (and you found some blackcod!)
It is a little confusing to find but proprietors give their phone. Very close to cruise ship docks.
Event was excellent! Easy hands on recipes that tasted fantastic. Accommodating to dietary issues. Felt like home everyone so friendly some people were from other ships. Everyone had fun, and loved the food.

Thanks Terry! We had fun with you!
This is a totally hands on cooking class. Emily shares family favorite recipes and walks you through how to prepare. At the end you have a family feast. It’s a great way to experience Ketchican with a local!
