james'mommy Posted April 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2018 So I've been allergic to crab for the last 10 years. I decided to get my allergies retested on the off chance they had changed. Great news, I'm no longer allergic to crab. Testing it out this weekend. So were would be the best place to get crab in Ketchikan? We don't have anything planned there. I don't think we would be interested in a crab feast since I'm not sure how much my son likes crab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted April 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Tracy's crab shack on the pier . Keep the Benadryl handy. Allergy test are about 60% accurate. Eating is the ultimate test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted April 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Tracy’s is in Juneau. Frankly, if I’d ever had an allergic reaction to crab, I wouldn’t test out the fact that I’m no longer allergic to it in the middle of an expensive vacation. You and your family could be left in Ketchikan if you had a bad reaction. That said, IMO the only worthwhile crab to eat in Alaska is fresh Dungeness. The king crab is all frozen and no different than you’d get at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk1972 Posted April 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm interested in this too. We've decided not to do the crab feast at George Inlet but still would like to know of any places within walking distance that have good crab or seafood for lunch in Ketchikan.

james'mommy Posted April 26, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Tracy’s is in Juneau.

The king crab is all frozen and no different than you’d get at home. I am testing out the crab this weekend. The allergy is only severe itchiness. It's usually treatable with a massive dose of benedryl. I have other allergies and so does my son so we'll have plenty of epipens. Dungeness is actually what I am interested in. It's what I was eating when I discovered I was allergic. The allergist actually wants me to do a 3 hour in office oral challenge but I would need to be off of my meds for 5 days and I can't make it past day 3 without meds.

wolfie11 Posted April 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Good luck with your test! I would hate it if I was allergic to shellfish.... Food allergies are funny things. After a buffet a few years ago I swelled up like a balloon, throat closed up, hives, the works. I never did figure out what caused it, as there wasn't anything I had never eaten before. The doctor finally decided it was a "combination" of ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Aurora Posted April 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Annabelles, which is downtown, is a great place for dungeness crab in Ketchikan. Other options too, including three different types of chowder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettyfan Posted May 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Which crab is better, Tracy's or George Inlet? Trying to decide, can't do both. Have more time in Ketchikan but can make Juneau work too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
