"Home of the Left Handed Halibut" Featuring the freshest Shrimp, Halibut and Rockfish of any coastal town, straight from the icy waters of Prince William Sound.

Each order is hand battered with our own secret recipe. Also enjoy home-made clam and seafood chowders and perhaps some home- made rhubarb crisp for dessert.

Steeped in Alaskan maritime atmosphere, we are located at the end of the triangle in beautiful downtown Whittier, Alaska.

Enjoy the harbor view from our deck and choose from over 30 imported, specialty and domestic beers and wines while listening to fine blues and jazz music.

The Swiftwater uses only fresh seafood harvested locally. Since there are no lobster, crab or scallop fisheries in Prince William Sound you will have to pay the high prices of upscale Anchorage restaurants for those delicacies from other locals.

The Aces barely missed getting a second Kelly Cup in 2009 taking it to a 7th game in the finals.  We are looking forward to another great season in 2009-2010 with a new coach, but many returning stars!

All Aces fans enjoy a trip to the Swiftwater if Margaret is at the counter.  Wear your gear and hear a shout out! 

Go Aces!

Cooks, cashiers, bathroom attendants, night clean up crew, servers and chief dishwashers, Don & Margaret Varlamos, (proprietors) also look forward to seeing and serving you.
