Anchorage Dining
 With 33,904 miles of coast, Alaska's icy waters are the perfect home for sea life, and fishing in Alaska is a multimillion-dollar industry employing thousands of people. Wild Alaska salmon, Alaska king crab, Prince William Sound oysters, and fresh halibut straight off the boat are just a few of many culinary highlights available to Anchorage diners. Other local delights include fresh berries, reindeer, caribou, and duck.
Ethnic restaurants, especially Asian styles, and a growing number of vegetarian options, offer a departure from traditional seafood fare while taking advantage of local ingredients like Alaska-grown vegetables. Recently, several microbreweries have opened in Anchorage, two of them downtown, with restaurants serving lunch and dinner.
Smoking is banned in all Anchorage restaurants, except for bars that also serve meals. Most local restaurants are open daily in summer, with reduced hours in winter. Though few places require reservations, calling ahead is recommended, especially for dinner at the more upscale places.
