We went here twice on our stay in Anchorage. It's just far enough to enjoy a little of the Seward Highway but close enough that the kids aren't complaining about the drive. We sat both inside and outside, and of course you can't beat outside on a nice day. Service is attentive and patient. They try to put us and our kids far away from the other customers which I appreciate (as I'm sure the others do too). The vibe is a little nicer than casual, I think you could make this a cute date night or a quick stop on the way to Girdwood or the peninsula. They have a good selection of draft beers and their food is great. I had the Caesar both times, but also tried their salmon burger and lemon spaghetti, which I shared with the kids. My recommendation for kids is to skip the basket of fries and get tots instead. I don't care for the skin on fries as much, but the tots were perfect. They seem to have a lot of interesting, fresh specials like a halibut Reuben that I'm sure is tasty. It's a great little destination when you want to get out of the house in the summer but don't want to do the same old spots in Anchorage. Check them out, you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Haven't been to this place since before Turnagain House closed. Wonderful surprise. We were there today for Mother's Day brunch. Had the special Halibut Enchilada, perfect portions and a new dish for me. Awesome! Spouse had the special Halibut Reuben, and was very happy with that choice. Other guest had the special Salmon Burger. Everybody loved their choices and would happily recommend as a stop before or after skiing or trip down Seward this summer. read more

The food is delicious - 5 stars We got the rock fish tacos and halibut fish and chips. Both were really good. I will say the tacos were smothered in tartar sauce - so I would suggest getting that on the side or "light". My only complaint - and this is a personal thing. Tipping- the computer payment options are 20%, 22% and 25%. When did 20% become the standard?? Other than that. It was really good. Friendly service. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back out here. read more

Have a little patience when it's busy and you'll have a great meal! Tacos were great, fish and chips too! Even though there was a rush of hungry people the staff kept their cool and all smiles! read more

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had. Ceviche too acidic. Lemon pasta surprisingly good. Bowls + protein additions end up costing like $36 each. In a recommendation not entirely driven by snark, they should open up a location in Manhattan. read more

Great fish and chips. atmosphere was very cool. Cool little wide spot in the road. Worth a visit

I would give this place 4.5 for seafood and salad. My husband got a burger and hated it, but liked the handcut fries with skin on them. He was also happy they had hot tea with a selection of choices- a lot alcohol centered places don't have that offering. My crab legs and kale salad were both excellent. Service was spot on. And the restaurant itself is SO beautifully Alaskan, with a nice patio and a gorgeous view of the Turnagin Arm. That alone warrants a visit just for apps and a drink. Definitely recommend. And the kale salad is EXCELLENT! read more

Turnagains Fish House - Seafood Near Me - Indian, Alaska

Very cute family owned shop with a great view along the turnagain arm. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 2 pm and was surprised by how busy it was. It took a while for a server to even stop by our table and acknowledge our existence. Everyone was very friendly though; I think they were maybe a little overwhelmed. The fish is fresh; they catch it themselves. My husband's sandwich was raw when it first came out, but they were able to quickly get him a new one when we notified them. read more

Somehow found this place the way back from Whittier! Food is pretty nice. Not sure why yelp says it's an Indian place haha. read more

This spot was amazing and the perfect pop in on our drive home from Seward. Great menu with lots of options (not just fish) plus an amazing staff. I cannot say enough great things about this and genuinely hope it becomes a long term fixture. We ordered a bowl, two fish and chips and a halibut sandwich. Everything was fresh caught and cooked to perfection. Small ish spot with casual dining and a patio overlooking the turnagain arm brings it all together. Can't wait to eat here many times in the future after ski hike and hike days for a heathy meal read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way back from Seward and the food/service did not disappoint. Our party got several items off of the menu but ended up sharing. The sauces for the fish sandwiches were stellar and the price for everything felt like a bargain. Save some room for their homemade blueberry cobbler. It pairs well with an Alaskan beer and the stellar views. read more

Good did food and great service! They had a large table able to sit about 12 people. They have small gift shop with Alaska and restaurant merchandise including local artists read more

Cozy spot with nice staff and tvs to catch any games going on. We tried the halibut and chips which were thick and flaky, held together with non-greasy batter that was light with the right crispness to it. Sauce was killer and they do have vinegar on the table if you like. Fries were a little thicker than I personally prefer but were cooked to my liking. We also had the taco special which was balanced and moist with the crunch and sweetness of the slaw and a great serving size as well. The chowder was also a win as it wasn't too thick and was seasoned well. Beers to top it off and you got a great place to stop in when driving through turnagain. read more

We had seared fish and chips and a bowl of seafood soup. The halibut portion was very small, about two ounce, so three small pieces of fish. The fried were homemade but I properly prepped do they wet red soggy and bendable. The soup was good but lacked stickiness and the " bowl" was half full. The beers were good and the homemade tartar sauce was very fresh. The menu selections were very limited. Service was good with only ten total other diners. Won't be going back. read more

Let's start with the good news: the fish is fresh. And... that's where the good news ends. We've eaten at all kinds of places--fancy and cheap, hits and total misses. But this is the first non-sushi restaurant where we were served a piece of fish the size of nigiri. One single bite of black cod--granted, it was tasty. But that was the highlight. The rest? Just plain pan-fried fish, lightly salted, no sauce, no seasoning creativity--laid on top of a dramatically overpriced bed of basic vegetables. No flair, no effort, no excitement. Overall, a thoroughly forgettable experience... except for the price. read more

I found out about this place from a review by the Anchorage Daily News yesterday. Turnagains Fish House is a new restaurant that recently opened in Indian along the Seward Highway a couple of doors down from Birch & Alder and further down the road past Indian Valley Meats as you're going towards Girdwood. The dining area is rustic style with a large patio that offers a great view of the water across the highway as well as the surrounding mountains. The dining area was packed with tourists from the lower 48 and other countries. The employees were friendly but were short-handed for the amount of customers that came in. One of the servers was kind enough to notify us that there may be a wait because of the large party that arrived ahead of us. We understood and were in no hurry after enjoying the drive from Anchorage. We chose a table by the window as the patio was filled with capacity and had no open tables. The menu had a good variety of seafood dishes as well as a beer/wine menu on the other side. I decided to try the Bore Tide Boat Bowl with halibut (sundried tomato pesto brown rice with garbanzo beans, charred kale, pickled onions. diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and sliced avocados). My friend decided to go with the House Salad (kale, mixed greens, carrots, croutons made in-house, and pepitas with balsamic dressing) and a bowl of Seafood Chowder. It took a half hour before our orders came, understandable given that there were only two servers on the floor. I have to give them credit for working hard to make sure everyone received their orders and no one was overlooked. The Bore Tide Bowl was outstanding in every way in terms of flavor and presentation. The charred kale provided a nice crunch to go with the sundried pesto brown rice and the sliced avocados. The halibut was very moist and tender, seasoned lightly and was complemented well with the pickled onions and the garbanzo beans. My friend enjoyed the Seafood Chowder which came with a thick slice of Focaccia Bread as well as the House salad. The most popular item is of course the Halibut and Chips which most of the other diners had ordered. I will definitely try that on my next visit. Aside from the aforementioned Halibut and Chips, some standout items on the menu include the Salmon Hushpuppies (salmon fried in cornmeal batter and served with tartar sauce), the Fisherman's Boat Bowl (chimichurri brown rice with pinto and black beans, edamame, sweet potatoes, and cabbage), and the Salmon Panko (fried in panko with a sweet teriyaki aioli). Quinoa rice can be substituted for brown rice for $2 when ordering a Boat Bowl along with a choice of Miso Cod, Salmon, Halibut, Steak, or Tofu for an additional charge. Hopefully, they will have more staff available soon to take care of the lunch rush and shorten the wait times. Despite being short-handed, the food was well worth the wait. Once they get more staff, this will be one of the best places to eat along the highway to Girdwood. read more

Loved this place!! Ashton was so nice and full of knowledge. The food and drinks were delicious!!! I'll definitely come back again.

Great experience, the Giant Crab Claws were exceptional. The service was also exceptional

Very good, took some friends from out of town after hearing rave reviews from another friend and her husband. Beautiful drive not far out of town. Fish tacos and fish, chips some of the best we've had out. My friends husband is very picky and he was still talking about it a few weeks later. read more

Cute little restaurant with amazing view. Fish was fresh and tasty. My husband had the bowl with salmon, I had the tacos. We also had a cup of the seafood chowder to split. Friendly staff, easy stop. read more

Disappointed because their hours say open and they are only open 2 days a week. We biked 17 miles and they were closed.

Friendly service was the highlight of our recent visit! We enjoyed the halibut ceviche so much that I wanted to drink the remaining juice from the bowl. It was so nice to be able to sit outside and look at the gorgeous view along the Turnagain Arm. read more

Stopped in for dinner on our drive into Anchorage. We had two delicious meals. Fresh high quality Alaskan fish and ingredients made for amazing great food. We will definitely be coming back frequently. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch after a weekday bike ride. This was our first time stopping in. Two of us ordered the Fisherman's Bowl, one with black cod, one with Halibut. Our third person ordered the fish and chips. It was all really well prepared and tasty. The breading on the fish and chips was crisp and relatively light, and was flavorful. I expected the fish to be the star of the fisherman's bowl, and don't get me wrong it was great, but the other ingredients were also really good. It felt filling but not heavy in that things weren't smothered in sauces rather they let flavors of each prepared element speak for themselves. Will be back. read more

Best fish around! And chowder! And salads! And service! Highest recommendation! It's worth a drive in from Anchorage.

Only place i've ever left a review, fish and chips, the burger, the chowder, and the rhubarb pie were absolutely fantastic, extremely reasonably priced, and food was out with in 10 minutes. I believe this is the best place i've ever been read more

We spent the day in Whittier and stopped in Girdwood at one of my favorite restaurants but the wait was going to be an hour so we decided to try out this new restaurant Turnagain Fish House. We received immediate seating on the patio outside, weather was great, my husband order Halibut fish and chips and tea and I ordered the Fisherman's bowl with tofu it was all amazing ! We will definitely be back. read more
