As if Alaska were not famous enough for their scenery and wildlife, but they are very famous for their excellent Alaskan food as well. Some of Alaska's specialties include wild berries, elk, caribou, king crab, halibut, shrimp, cod, clams, oysters and much more.

Alaska is also quite well known for their fantastic sourdough breads. In fact, most homes even use it as a starter for any bread or other baked goods they are making.

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.

For the food that is not based on what is offered in Alaska, there are also other alternatives, including many Russian restaurants and many Thai restaurants- five in Fairbanks alone!

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.
