To enjoy Alaskan cuisine one must love fish. Salmon, halibut and trout feature heavily on most menus.
Regional specialities:
• Smoked salmon.
• Caribou stew.

Live music is very popular in Alaska. Many bars offer a wide choice of late-night sounds, ranging from rock to jazz and blues.

Unique Alaskan products and crafts include gold nugget jewellery; items carved from ivory and jade; handmade clothing and toys; items made from skin, fur or bone; and woven baskets of beach grass, bark and baleen. Native sea-oil candles, beaded mittens, fur mukluks and miniature hand-carved totem poles are also popular souvenirs. The ‘Made in Alaska’ logo indicates that an item has been genuinely manufactured in Alaska, and the ‘silver hand’ logo identifies Native Alaskan handicrafts.
