These days, it's more popular than ever to take a trip to Alaska.
As word of the 49th state's beauty has spread, people are flocking there to take Alaskan cruises, which make it possible to see many of the state's natural wonders and taste their best foods.
One of the huge attractions that really draws people in is the state's beautiful wildlife and outdoor opportunities.
Fortunately, Alaska fish help tie nearly all tourists to the state because visitors enjoy eating fresh seafood, watching them in the wild and attempting to catch them.
No matter what kind of trip people take to Alaska, they're going to wind up interacting with the state's amazing sea life.
In Alaska, visitors come into contact with several different species of sea life.
Some of the most prominent kinds of Alaska fish are: salmon (king/Chinook, sockeye/red, Coho/silver, pink/humpback and Keta/chum), whitefish (cod, black cod, halibut and Pollock) and shellfish (scallops, Dungeness crab, king crab, snow crab and prawns).
Because the state has such a wealth of sea life that is well-protected by fishing regulations, the state's seafood industry is thriving like never before.
On a trip to Alaska, many visitors will wind up tasting several of these great types of seafood, and often, visitors are so enamored with the taste of this fresh caught seafood, that they're disappointed when they have to leave and return home.
Thankfully though, due to advances in technology these great tasting Alaska fish are now available all over the country.
Even after returning home from the trip of their lives, people can still enjoy the best seafood they've ever eaten because these fish are now frozen and canned and sent all over the place.
Many people assume that even if they're able to find this seafood from Alaska in their local grocery store, that it isn't going to taste as good as it did when they were on their trip.
Yet, modern techniques enable the seafood to be preserved naturally so when it arrives on your table, it will taste just as fresh as the day it was caught.
Bring some of your trip home by enjoying Alaska's seafood in your hometown.
