I think the population is around 4,000, ranked <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Alaska_by_population" rel="nofollow">#13 in Alaska</a>. Pretty large for somewhere so far off the beaten path.

I always thought of it as a tiny arctic outpost but I think it is larger that the village I grew up in.

I'm not a big fan of fishy-tasting food so I expect I probably wouldn't be too keen.
