Eat Like Action Bronson in Alaska on the Latest 'Fuck, That's Delicious'

Your menu includes luscious king crab legs with butter, fresh steamed salmon, and beluga whale.

We hope you loved the latest episode of Fuck, That's Delicious on VICELAND, which took us to Anchorage, Alaska. Action and his crew ate the freshest salmon, beluga whale, and king crab like the world was about to end. Sadly, Action was feeling ill for most of the journey, so Meyhem Lauren and the Alchemist took one for the team and consumed the most delicious seafood the area had to offer.

Now that you've witnessed Mr. Wonderful's trip to Alaska in all its glory, here's your eating itinerary for the next time you find yourself in Anchorage.

"I came to Alaska with thoughts of fly fishing, beauty, and nature. I bought all of this apparel [in hopes of fly fishing] and I can't do nothing cause' I feel sick," said an ill Mr. Wonderful from his hotel bed. After his Anchorage performance, the singer took it easy and sent Meyhem Lauren and the Alchemist out to Chalet Lake Lodge in Chelatna, Alaska, where salmon gurus Matt Bertke and David Bacon were ready to show them the fly fishing ropes.

After the Alchemist caught a few fish, Meyhem had a glorious realization. "Sometimes you have a calling. I already know this was meant for me! Off the grid living." The group sat down for a riverside lunch of salmon cooked over an open wood fire steamed in foil with onions, mushrooms, and peppers.

After Meyhem paid his compliments to the chef, he asked one valid question: "Don't you think it's kinda disrespectful to take [the fish] out of its home and then eat it right next to its home?"

Simon & Seaforts Saloon and Grill

In a state with more wildlife and A+ hunting than anywhere else in the country, it's no surprise that one of Anchorage's oldest steakhouses, Simon & Seafort's, exists. While Mr. Baklava laid alone in his hotel, Meyhem and the Alchemist feasted on coconut shrimp, seafood fettuccine, crab drip, and colossal crab legs, because why not?

By the time the luscious Alaskan crab legs arrived, Meyhem took notice of the service. "This, my friend, is a piece of crab. When you put a candle under the butter, that's love. That's when you know they really love me."

Paulette Schuerch's Home in Anchorage

Halfway through the Anchorage experience, Action decided to rally. "It was a goal of mine to eat with the native people of Alaska. Even though I knew I wasn't feeling good, I knew I couldn't pass this up." Action and his crew paid Paulette Schuerch, who is part of the Inupiat community, a home visit, where they sampled some of the native delicacies that have been foraged and hunted fresh from the tundra.

Denali Whiting, a friend of Schuerch's, brewed hot sedivik (stinkweed tea) for everyone, which has been known to cure whatever ails you. "Don't drink too much of the stinkweed, or you will start hallucinating," Denali warned the group before Action asked for another cup.

Inupiat translates to "real people" who have lived in Alaska for more than 10,000 years, and these foods have remained as staple items of the community, from mukluk (bowhead whale meat), raw and cooked quaq (frozen whale meat), binocduk (dried caribou and raw caribou), beluga whale, and seal meat. As the group sampled the wares, Schuerch warned about the lasting effects of seal meat, which is "really delicious, but don't drip it on your clothes." After dipping the meat in its own oil, Action wanted more. "The seal meat is fishier than any fish I've ever had. I think it's very comparable to mackerel." Once the beluga was passed around, Mr. Wonderful compared it to marshmallows, while the bowhead whale tasted similar to "mushrooms."

Unfortunately, Action ended up in the hospital with an umbilical hernia, but he assures everyone that the "Native Alaskan food had nothing to do with me ending up in the hospital." Mr. Wonderful, we're glad you're feeling better, and hope you're booking your next trip to Alaska to fulfill your fly fishing dreams.
