The Fat Mermaid - Valdez

In mid-September there was really not much to choose for restaurants. Everyone has always told us that this is the best place. It was good... We shared their seafood plate. The shrimps were great. The Calamari was tiny and the salmon drop tasted like Costcos, but far overpriced. Next time we'd stay on the street with the food trucks.

I ordered a fat mermaid burger, but I got regular bacon instead of Canadian bacon. That wasn't the best. It was a lot of way to greasy for a $24 burger. Lettuce was fresh, which I appreciated. The pepperoni I didn't even taste like the burger was seasoned with. I didn't do anything for it. The spices on the burger were also a bit strong for my pleasure. We had Jamal for our server. he was brilliant and very attentive?

The salmon and the rocks were perfectly prepared and were delicious. Great view of the port!!

This is an amazing restaurant on the banks of Valdez. The food tastes great. The frits are absolutely crispy. The cheese steak is one of the best I ever had. The fish sand that was also very good. And although it wasn't a Thai place, the yellow curry was on site. I would recommend this place to anyone who goes to Valdez, AK. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you can always try.

Had the salmon dinner. Delicious! Salmon cooked almost perfect, just slightly dry on edges. The place is busy all the time, but still seems friendly comfortable. The view of the mountain is outstanding.
