Icy Strait Point, Alaska

You may have never heard of this town in Alaska since really the only way to get to it is by boat, but this little town has some unique quirks at it. The crab station is a simple yet amazing eatery. The tables are right on the boards of the dock, and the crab is fresh caught everyday. They have one thing on the menu and they do it well, during the time of the year i went they had dungeness crab served simply with white rice. Food can not get any better than having fresh and simple, pair it with your favorite soda or beer, and a beautiful ocean view and you have a meal that anybody should be envious of. The town has many Alaskan natives in it, they sale their goods to tourist, and tell stories around a fire in the center of the town. This is where I learned that they believe there is a spirit that live on the edge of the docks that cause many strange happening to people who go near it. If you ever find yourself in this tiny town, just sit back enjoy some crab and listen to the stories that the elders tell,it may not be an exciting town but it is one of the most interesting places i have been.
