Mile 1016 Pub has a darn good fresh salmon burger

I was told by a friend that I made a terrible mistake ordering the salmon burger at Mile 1016 Pub instead of their house burger. Why? Because, according to them, it’s the best burger in the Yukon.

Point taken. I’ll have to visit again!

Even with that sad bit of knowledge, I thoroughly enjoyed the pub’s salmon burger. I was informed it was a homemade patty of Alaskan salmon, none of that store-bought stuff. 

The burger was cooked well, though it had a faint disappointing aftertaste of oil. Sizing for fish burgers is always an issue, as many places skimp on the patty. Thankfully, they did not. The bun was also excellent, and was soft without breaking apart. 

While I don’t include fries in my review, they were sadly practically inedible, over-fried to the point of being hard, with a strong aftertaste of deep fryer oil. My friend said they’re usually good, so I’ll have to try them again next time.

Overall, I’d give the burger a solid 7.6, though we’ll have to see how it holds up against their own burger next time.
