Coastal Cold Storage

Southeast Alaska


You’re in Petersburg – indulge in what they catch. Stop at this processor/seafood store/restaurant for a shrimp burger, salmon-halibut chowder or the local specialty, halibut beer bits. Or purchase whatever is swimming in the tanks: steamer clams, oysters or Dungeness crab. In the coolers you find just-made salmon sandwiches, shrimp salads, halibut cheeks and even squid bait.

Need a beer with those bits? The staff will deliver your order next door to the Harbor Bar.
