It’s pretty expensive to get good food here since we are so far in the north. There are traditional foods but those can’t be commercially sold without a license. Luckily there is a truck that comes up from Edmonton that sells premier steaks and seafood twice a year and it was in town! We bought some Nova Scotia scallops and king crab legs for Christmas and Christy’s birthday. They weren’t cheap but cheaper than flying south for them!
We also went to an indigenous traditional food restaurant called Alestine’s. The kitchen is in a school bus and we were seated in a cute little cabin. I have to say they serve the greatest fish taco ever! It came with curry sauce and chipotle, and the white fish was caught in nearby region that day. It was better than the tacos in Toronto! We also ordered a bison burger and it was also heavenly with crispy bun and flavorful meat patty. I was dreaming about the taco ever since, will go back for sure!
因為北極非常偏遠，所以伙食很貴而且很難有新鮮的食材。雖然這裡有傳統的原住民食材，可是政府管制下需要商業牌照才可以賣。幸好有每年兩次有一家人從南部運送各種優質的海鮮和肉類到Inuvik，而聖誕節前他們來了三天。因為聖誕節和Christy生日快到，我們決定買了些Nova Scotia的帶子和阿拉斯加長腳蟹。雖然有點貴，可是比買機票飛去吃便宜吧！
星期天晚上我們去了一家做傳統原住民菜的餐廳Alestine’s吃晚飯。他們的廚房是在一架校巴裡面的，而用餐的地方是在一間別緻的小木屋裡面。沒有誇張：他們的魚taco是我吃過最好吃的taco！兩份taco分別用了咖喱汁和chipotole，魚是當日野生釣回來的，外層鬆脆，入口融化，比起多倫多有名的店鋪還要好吃！我們還點了非常好吃的水牛肉漢堡包，肉質彈牙加上包面烘得鬆脆。我回家還不停的想念那個fish taco，實在不得不再回去吃！
