Creator's Key Takeaways

I visited every fishing village in the state of Alaska.

The price of fish plummeted last last year by half there's just too many fish coming in from overseas.

Seward has one of the most lucrative fishing ports in the USA 13,000 pounds of fish were offloaded here last year worth $50 million.

It's about 6:00 in the morning on my 8th morning in Alaska and it's pretty chilly it's about 50° a lot of these people are getting ready to go out fishing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Visit Seward and Homer while you can, as they are changing due to tourism.
✓If you want to live in Alaska, be a good-hearted, honest, hard worker.
✓Plan for high cost of living and stock up on supplies when in Anchorage.
