Whittier, Alaska, a town that used to only be accessible by boat or plane, has one of the most remote places to buy fish and chips - Varly's Swiftwater cafe.
Every season, boat workers and people passing through the small town flock to taste the restaurant's fresh clam chowder and fried-to-order halibut. So, the MUNCHIES team flew to Anchorage, then drove through North America's longest combined vehicle-railroad tunnel to get a taste.

The fear off living In One building ,also the excitement is overwhelming. Sounds like a very well grounded little town.
Lol I didn’t ask you either 😂
@@Dylan-vj9yl calm down, Karen.

It’s not the only building in the town. There is a small apartment complex and several restaurants.
This town would be a great setting for a horror game.
Very 30 days of night
Back when I was a huge fan of TWD I thought the same thing but for a season based up there. Grew up about 20 mins from here and it’s always awesome to visit.
I was thinking more like "Life Is Strange" series. Especially with the famous cafe, cheerful locals, and beautiful sceneries. I bet the town looks better when it's sunny.
@@ConsensusX Go play Tell My Why, it is effectively a Life is Strange game in all but name, and set in rural Alaska.
Hell yeah! collapse the tunnel and freeze over the ports or disable all ships, and youre pretty much trapped. And the only defensible building is the high rise
The fact they bought the restaurant only a couple of years before the tunnel opened is such a stroke of luck.
Or that's some fishy business 🤔
Pretty sure the tunnel had been planned more than 2 years in advance :) It was a smart decision tho
and then stopped in 2019 which seems genius if they sold
My man how long exactly do you think it takes to build a tunnel 🤣 a couple weeks ?
@@Bighannes410I'm gay and I think the tunnel was already built solely for trains, but after they bought the restaurant, it opened up to automotive traffic.
You should have name dropped the originator. She deserves it so much.
Who's that, Terminator's cousin?
why so you freaks can stalk her? not everyone is big attention grabbing attention seeker, she prob just wants to live in peace in hokkaido. or she's dead
@@S-fn3oe Lmao
Well, considering that the restaurant used to be owned by a Japanese person; it's possible that the fish is battered in potato starch rather than flour. Using potato starch can give your food a crispier and lighter flavour, and it's easier to taste the spices and/or marinade.
U dont make any sense.
@@BansheeN0rn It's been a while since I've watched this video; but if memory serves- The restaurant staff said something along the lines of their recipe being a secret that they got from the previous owner. Battering and frying food in the way I described is a popular method of cooking in Japan, but it's not widely done that way in the US. Hence why this particular restaurant's food could taste uniquely crispy compared to its competitors.
Japanese people are awesome.
@@BansheeN0rnI don’t get how you’re that dumb to understand what he said.. wtf, people like you exist??)
@@BansheeN0rn how does his comment not make any sense>
I love their story. I love that he gave the Japanese lady credit. I want to go there. 🐟♥️
guaranteed that's why it's so tasty. Japanese grandma recipes? I'm there!!!
The food looks delicious, I’d go there just to say “I ate there.”
@@kailua808was just gonna say that, you already know a Japanese Grandma that lived in a very remote (at the time) area of Alaska who had a seafood restaurant was cooking up some wild things. Would like to hear more about her story!
The original owner gave then all the knowledge and they followed it.
Yeah the Japanese Lady needs some credit. Japanese take on western food has always been delicious. The way the respect and carefully make anything is truly amazing. You can go to Japan and literally any food is delicious, like they are made for a King, even their sandwiches at the gas stations.
@@Zoran69 Japanese 7/11s are practically restaurants unto themselves, with how good the food quality is
@@Zoran69 in a homogenic high IQ country people care for each other as being extended family. Modern western diversity doesent know what a community even is. Just look how anything that isnt nailed down gets stolen or destroyed and vandalized. And its always migrants
@@Zoran69 So true.
When you buy a turnkey restaurant...That's what happens.
This town is fascinating and I loved learning about it but people forget that its not in the middle of nowhere. Its a major ferry port in Alaska and about a 1 hour drive from the nearest Costco
I worked for the railroad in Alaska for a number of years and the Swiftwater was definitely one of our go-to places when we went off duty there. Tiny place, great views of the harbor and sound, and excellent food. Definitely one of the highlights of Whittier.
😊
You’re not disappointed that this is THE place to eat while you’re waiting on the tunnel to go out.
I’ve eaten there. Definitely not a one-building town anymore, but a cool place to visit. The train is a whistle-stop train that will drop you off at a place where you can hike to Spencer glacier, there’s a great log cabin you can stay at near there
What do you mean by that? Have they started building houses on the surroundings, or maybe other smaller buildings grouping other people?
@@pdrt2377 most of the land in Whittier is owned by the railroad and is a national forest, so homes and land for sale are scarce
Ever since I first saw Peter Santanello's video on Whittier it's been living rent free in my head. This video just gave me another reason to add visiting this place (or moving there) to my bucketlist.
Same here❤️
move there? theres not gonna be job opportunities
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 There's a fishing industry, USPS is almost always in demand for workers, and cruise ships dock at the port so there's the cruise line industry.
It’s a really fun place to visit and a really depressing place to live- source, have been stuck in whittier
You’re not missing much bro. Also, Santanellos video, this one, and others, are clickbait. The majority of the residents live in Begich towers, but not all.
I love living in Alaska. Born and raised. Grew up traveling the Seward highway.
I can only imagine the lifelong trek to adapt into that climate. I'm in California so we can only google your experience.. 😁
@Bang me Chan I asked, and I want to know more about it. @Godisgood Allthetime, tell me more about Alaska. What do you do for work? How is life in Anchorage vs. smaller towns? Is fish pretty cheap? How tough is it to drive across the state, or does it depend on the season?
@@mikea5745 I work with patients. Anchorage's to crowded. I work there but live about 25 to 30 minutes out of town. Depending on the time of year. Not safe to travel in the winter. We fish in the summer and fall. We dip net. And never purchase fish from the store. So I'm not sure about the cost.
We all know Alaska is a tough place to live in, yet some people love that state. There must be a reason that I have never got to experience as someone who was born and grew up in a city. Would love to visit there someday.
We love seeing mom and pop shops thriving 😮💨❤️🫂
As they say in the video, the store got bought out in 2019 and the new owner doesn't work at the cafe. So the mom and pops era is kinda over. The manager is Lena Allred, the woman you see in the second half of the video.
Yup, the tunnel leading into Whittier is pretty unique as it's shared by cars and trains. The only other tunnel similar to it in the US is the Mount Washington Transit Tunnel in Pittsburgh which is shared by buses and light rail. On top of it being shared by trains, it's also the longest highway tunnel in North America (at 2.5 miles long), the first designed for -40 Fahrenheit temperatures and 150 mph winds, as well as the first to be aired out with jet turbine ventilation. The reason trains and cars share the tunnel is because they wanted to save money so they didn't have to build another tunnel for cars back in 2000. How did Whittier become such a rail place? Because of WWII. Whittier was pretty important during WWII when it comes to protecting Alaska. The US Army selected Whittier as a rail port because it was a shorter voyage, reduced exposure of ships to Japanese submarines, reduced the risk of Japanese bombing the port facilities because of the bad weather, and avoided the steep railroad grades required to traverse the Kenai Mountains. So the tunnel was built for the port in 1943.
Growing up in Alaska, and have lived abroad for almost a decade. I am 32, and hearing "You are working, so no beer please"... reminds me of how weird that sounds, like that would be a big deal. But it was and and how far I drifted away. My dad hitched on the train and camped in the shale hills with his best friend in the 60s. And if no one said it already... "The weather is always .... in Whittier." You fill in the blank. Even driving out of Anchorage... Whittier feels like a place to stare into the abyss for a day. I miss the air.
I'm only a couple years younger than you and just passed a decade living away as well. Even growing up in Anchorage I have realized over the years how much I miss the air. It's cool to see someone else on here bring that up ❤️
Who are you asking to fill in the blank? I would have thought you would be able to fill in the blank.
Sounds like they got their own slice of unique paradise
This is the first reason I've ever had to want to visit Alaska. Thank you #Munchies for always bringing us the great real-life stories of people conquering their fears and making lives of those around better. Continued success and happiness in 2023 to everyone in #Whittier Alaska. #FishAndChips #Family #Friends #Restaurant

Some Whittier history: The region occupied by Whittier was once part of the portage route of the Chugach people native to Prince William Sound. Later, the passage was used by Russian and American explorers, and by prospecting miners during the Klondike Gold Rush. The nearby Whittier Glacier was named for American poet John Greenleaf Whittier in 1915, and the town eventually took the name as well A sad fact about Whittier, it once had a huge earthquake in 1964 that had a magnitude of 9.2...that remains in the top four of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history (second to be specific!). Whittier faced three tsunamis as a result, killing 12 people (including six children) in a single lumber mill who were celebrating a birthday, as well as a woman and her infant perishing elsewhere in town. From Whittier's role in WWII to the earthquake, a town famous for its one building sure has a story to tell.
Wow! You know so much dear leader!
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.
i’ve been up to whittier before … first time i’ve ever been knocked on my ass by wind lol. the weather change after you go through the tunnel is unbelievable.
What was the largest vehicle you saw trying to get through there? Is is big enough for 18-wheelers? Wide enough (8ft plus)?
I was stationed in anchorage and alaska was the best place I ever lived. The fishing, the camping, great golf, the food, everything was life changing. All the road trips, train trips, national parks unreal! Can't wait to move back
I'd love to try Alaskan fish and chips... Being Australian and living on the coast, fish and chips are a staple here.
the halibut is pricey but it's like butter!!
Halibut fish and chips may cost more than cod or other fish, but it’s great. (Live in Seattle, have been to Alaska on vacation)
Easy to be the best fish and chips in Alaska when you're the only one lol
Good stuff there mate!
Alaskan halibut is tops. I would choose it over lobster but not battered. Don’t get me wrong battered halibut is still delicious. I met some people from Australia the first time I was in Alaska.
Grew up in Alaska and worked out of Whittier for a few years. This place has been the same since day 1. Worth the stop if you’re visiting Alaska.
Yaaay! I watched a mini documentary this guy did about this place. Loved the community.
It gives me Silent Hill games
Reasons for omitting a thirteenth floor include triskaidekaphobia on the part of the building's owner or builder, or a desire by the building owner or landlord to prevent problems that may arise with superstitious tenants, occupants, or customers. In 2002, based on an internal review of records, Dilip Rangnekar of Otis Elevators estimated that 85% of the buildings with Otis brand elevators did not have a floor named the 13th floor. Early tall-building designers, fearing a fire on the 13th floor, or fearing tenants' superstitions about the rumor, decided to omit having a 13th floor listed on their elevator numbering.This practice became commonplace, and eventually found its way into American mainstream culture and building design. -Wiki

While living in Alaska I visited several times and found the folks both gracious and entertaining.
Damn I’d buy a restaurant for 5K. That’d be sick
Especially when they sell 100lbs of fish a day, and a basket of fish n chips 1lb fillet costs 17$!!
Account for overhead that's not much lol
Especially if the restaurant includes the previous owner giving all the recipes AND intensive training on techniques.

Alaska is beautiful. Breathtakingly so. My family and I stayed in Anchorage. When I go back, Whittier is on my list, as well as Nome, & Fairbanks! Oh, & going back to Anchorage, have to catch the Iditarod! ❤
Whittier! Went backpacking and sailing out there a few years ago, so beautiful and cozy. Love Alaska!! 😁
I learned about Whittier back in 2017 or so, and have always wanted to visit since then. What I particularly love about this documentary is that it focuses on a spot that I have never heard about before! Most of the documentaries focus on the Begich Towers, so its refreshing to see one focus on the locals and their pride in their food. Primary reasons for wanting to visit is the one-way tunnel and just to admire the breathtaking views. Now I have another reason to visit! :)
Always love hearing about Whittier!
Ok, but who owns it NOW? Because if you pay attention that couple said they owned it from 1997 to 2019. And the head chef said she came in "when her boss bought it".
My boss owns it now and his name is Todd Perez. He also owns the Inn at Whittier and a jet ski glacier tour and a couple more places in Girdwood. He’s very hands-on with all of his places.
@@thefaller03 google says it's temporarily closed, is it true/what's the story
@@slow_clumsy theyre not open year round. its seasonal
@@chocobunny39 ahhh, I see. Thanks!
Sounds like they are buying things up and going to dump money into the town.
I worked here in summers of 2000 and 2001 cleaning after hours. My friend josh was their waiter. Don and Margaret were always extremely nice and welcoming to me. Lots of nights playing humble pie full blast, cleaning dishes and stocking the fridge and prepping. Great times.
that chowder with smoked salmon looked AMAZING!
I looooooove visiting Whittier! I live in Alaska near Whittier, it is such a beautiful place to visit! Never had the chance to eat at the Swiftwater cafe. It is usually closed when we go. But one day, I am going too!
The halibut from this place is phenomenal.
Would love to taste fresh halibut and cod. I think all I've ever eaten has been frozen.
For some reason, once I saw a documentary about begich building, I was hooked!
That lady working is GORGEOUS!
Can't wait for the great north to do an episode there. I love that show
Some years ago i used the ferry from whittier to valdez. It was the journey of my life so far...#lovealaska
Went to Whittier on a whim for my trip to alaska...it is absolutely spectacular in winter, even if most places are closed
Just the thought of looking out over those open spaces, waterfalls and quiet makes me long to visit Alaska. I feel like it's the place I was always meant to be.
That place remind me of a little fish restaurant in Charlottetown. My bestfriend and I went there back in 2015 and asked the locals what's a good place to eat and every one of them told us to go to this place. They were right. The food was phenomenal and the ambience warm.

We went while we were in Anchorage. Had fish in chips in Anchorage and then here. The difference is unbelievable. 100% agree that this is the best fish in chips. Nothing compares.
Whittier is lucky, have you seen Yakutsk of Siberia, -35C is considered heat wave in winter
I lived across the street from that Bukner building for work. That was some creepy stuff.
What a beautiful town.

There is another internet show, guy and his wife off-grid living and that gal looks eerily similar. The symmetry in their faces...... tree trunk genealogy in Alaska.

Alaska had some of the best food I've ever had. Best pizza I ever had was in Juneau. Best pad thai I had was in Skagway. Best Chinese food was in Ketchikan.
When your customerbase is only a couple hundred you cant afford to be bad espicially when you know everyone personally
@Erwin Tan, yeah that is all you've had Alaskan food so it's a bit biased, try to go overseas and see what the locals cook, then you can really judge the quality and genuineness compared to Alaska.
What restaurants did you eat at?
if the best pizza, pad thai, and chinese food you ever had was in alaska you definitely need to travel more lol
Oh yes, that Chinese restaurant in Ketchikan is 100%!
I could listen to female owner for hours telling her stories. GREAT speaking voice and comforting.
the tunnel time blows my mind. do they shut the gates? or just have trains going thru nonstop?? 90% of the people living in one building is one hell of a social experiment
horror movie esque
They're generally timed out depending on the season. Every time I went to Whittier we'd just drive the tunnel during the split times when trains weren't going in or out. In general to answer your question, they prioritize trains going through so traffic will wait, but then once the train is through they close it off for folks who are driving. Very interesting place and one I liked visiting every once in a while; amazing glacier charters out of Whittier! Source: born and raised in Anchorage, AK
Yes tunnel is controlled by gates. The tunnel also closed at 10pm and opens at 6am I believe.
gosh i love these 2,they are so realistic its a breath of fresh air !
btw im one month older than their business !
Swift water seafood cafe is absolutely amazing. Literally the only place me and my family will eat every time we’re in Whittier
I live in a "small" town in Hudson County NJ. 1/5th of the population lives in the same high rise building complex as me. We live 20 min across the river from Manhattan, and there's something I really love about the community here. Were in the city but not, and people are friendly because the town has such small borders. The total pop of the whole county is the pop of all of Alaska, so no comparison, but it really is a special way to live like this.
Bro u r really comparing your peace of Shit NJ to beautiful protected Alaska ??
The plus about being a former Jersey City resident is knowing exactly what you're talking about lol
I’m from Anchorage Alaska. When I get back to Alaska I’ll have to visit this place.
Honestly one of the most interesting ways I’ve seen to combat the cold. One big building to insulate. They killed the food too, might have to bucket list this spot lmao
They’re not in the big building haha. Big misconception that everything in the town is in the building.
Crazy how much attention Whittier is getting recently.
I saw it on a travel vlog last week, I'd never heard of it until then, but I'm English.
It brings views since 1 guy showed it so all the other greedy youpoopers thought "oh that brings views and money lets make a video about it aswell" Thats the modern lack of ideas. Also seen in Hollywood and Video games
right? i’ve lived in alaska my whole life and grew up going to whittier every summer or just whenever my mom wanted to go on a drive and it’s fun seeing people swooning over it. i never thought too much about alaska for most of my life because it’s all i’ve ever known, but after going to other states and realizing it’s a once in a lifetime experience for most, i feel lucky to experience alaska every day!
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti that’s true but it is a fascinating town that hasn’t been talked about much until recently
@@quimmole477 yeah I just think that pumping money there to turn it into another tourist hotzone will ruin it like it did all other places.

Oh wow, the food looks really good. And, I love her voice and his voice especially.
I remember Henry constantly telling us how much she loves us to do and I think that she would love that for her to be honest and to have her back to me so I think she was really happy to have that and that she would like us all being friends with us to do it was so nice to see you
Alaskans are a different type of people. They're great!
On my bucket list now coz I LOVE fish n chips😋
Still not upset I went to the Whittier inn for dinner when I was there for the day. It was $70 for enough lobster and the best shrimp I have ever had in my life for 3 people.
This would be a great place to stay for a week or two and decompress. And try everything on the menu while I'm there between hikes 😄
Seems like a fairly basic fried fish yet the main thing is fresh, always tastes substantially better.
Cant go wrong with fresh fish like that honestly
Kayaked from Whittier to Valdez once. It was such an amazing experience. Shame I wasn't able to stop by.
How far?
@@Roxy-ch4gv - about 90 miles. Which is shorter than driving it, about 360 miles.
I did the same in 2006. Amazing experience
The Halibut looks amazing, in Europe it's impossible to get something like that. Even when you buy it for 50-60€ per Kilo, it doesn't look like that. Would love to taste it.
I was in Whittier for a little bit last year and wish I had gone 😢
Such an inspiring story !!!❤❤❤
I made Whittier a stop in my trip to Alaska. Swiftwater has amazing food. The calamari burger is very good. I did the glacier cruise and spent the night there. Pretty cool little town.
Fish and chips looks delicious!!🐟🍟
I found a cool fishing hook and bought some salt in tiny trailer style shop during this past summer. Also saw their history museum. That was pretty cool too
Never in my life been to Alaska but seeing this video I would 100% try this food. Great story A++ Work
There is some pretty good fish and chips on the Homer spit. Fresh caught halibut every day can't go wrong.
Quite sure The Vice got this idea after watching the Peter Santenello's video on this Alaskan town! I hope people watch his beautiful original video
The previous owner is so cute. Goes the extra mile to make sure that they will suceed
I love this story.
I live almost 9k km from this place and I am still tempted to visit this place and taste the food
Been going here since I was a kid; their crab cakes are awsome too!
I have been to Whittier and it’s magical .. entire city in one bldg..
We drive down once a week to eat there. Spectacular food!
Sees the intro: “Huh, that looks like Japanese deepfry” 2:38 : “Ah makes sense”
I noticed the same thing
I remember visiting here this year very fondly -- great place!
I’m glad you can still remember, otherwise that would be worrisome
Would LOVE to have tried that fish & chips and the chowder!!!
Thanks, I love re=watching this episode.
this is like the 5th video i seen on this place in the past couple months
These are people that understand that consistency is KEY to a successful Food joint.
What a lovely story!
I absolutely love fish and chips. Im always on the hunt for the best spot. Believe it or not I had such a hard time finding a decent place in Los Angeles, at least to my liking, but ive had better luck on the east coast. I have to try this place before I die. It HAS TO HAPPEN! lol Im only 27 so fingers crossed lol this seems like such a nice and friendly town. Ive seen videos about this place before but they only focused on the idea of everyone living in one place and not so much the area and how gorgeous it is and how the locals are. great video!
