ANSTRUTHER FISH SUPPER... THE BEST IN THE WORLD???

[@24magiccarrot]

There are several things that help Anstruther over English chips shops. 1) They use haddock which is arguably a tastier fish than cod 2) It's impossible to get a fresher bit of fish, They buy the fish straight off the boat and in Scotland there are shorter distances between the fishing areas and shore than in England, that fish was literally doing back flips in the North Sea that morning. 3) Scottish Fresh Air is the best seasoning.

[@mrschurchill2998]

I’m from the central belt and only went to Anstruther for the first time 3 weeks ago! It was hands down the best chippy I’ve ever been to 🙌🏼

[@BobBobOnYouTube]

That chip shop is a 7 hour drive from my house. The fish looks so good, I'm thinking the journey might be worth it.

[@endinio714]

I live there it really good but possibly not worth the 7 hour drive but if you are nearby I would definetly suggest it

I drove 1 hour and 30 mins for one today and although I really enjoyed it I cant see me driving that far again for fish and chips especially when theres one 10 minutes from me that in my opinion is about on par.

I took my Future Wife to this place and her mother made out I was a loser. Ultimately, I have twin Daughters due to the amazingness of the Fish Bar in Anstruther!!! It is the greatest taste sensation I have ever had in my life.

[@christopherfranklin972]

Charles and Camilla came to East Yorkshire and visited a celebrated chip shop. Although it was a sweltering hot day Charles was wearing a fur hat and visibly perspiring. Curiosity overcame the owner and he delicately asked HRH about the hat. Charles replied; "Well,I was chatting to mama about this trip to Bridlington and she said "Wear the fox hat ..."".

Derek called this one a while ago, he wasn’t wrong. Looked like great fish and chips..must visit 👍

[@scotlandmcturk659]

Looks very good. It's a gotta be one of the better fish fry's I've seen. i would say the par boil the chips then double fry them from appearance. I think the batter mix is injected with CO2, sort like a soda. Which would account for all the air pockets. It's hard to create that effect by whipping the batter. plus u don't want a perfectly smooth batter. should have some lumps in it. When u drop the fish in u should drip some batter over the frying fish piece and that creates more nooks an crannies and crispy edges. The snaky floavor u discuss might be some type of alcohol, since alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature then water would add to crispness and flavor in a sneaky way (doubt its rum, more like vodka/moonshine).

[@Michael-qz9vr]

Love this place. I stay in Kirkcaldy so it's not too far away. Unreal fish suppers! Glad you gave it a go.

[@danielgordon5101]

As I said in yesterday’s review, I think The Bay in Stonehaven is better. A lot of locals in Anstruther actually prefer the other chip shop in town, but that’s not to say the main one featured here isn’t good. It’s just a bit too busy and was better a few years ago, in my experience.

[@glasgowbiker50ian71]

Aye the Bay in Stonehaven is epic as well. Marco's in Arbroath is up there.

Batter is too crispy and dry for my liking, most people I've spoken to recommend the Pittenweem chippy, nice moist batter and a better price from what I remember. The view of the harbour in Anstruther on a summers day whilst eating any fish and chips from any of the chippies can't be beaten though.

I live about 20 minutes away and love to go here every few months. Don't listen to the locals who say the wee chippy is better, they just can't be bothered with the queue!(although the other 2 are good chipshops!) One positive thing with tier 3 in Fife, no tourists so not even one customer in the place at 5pm). I'm sure they do a membership card there, they defo did a few years back anyway!

[@yogihaughton]

I simply refuse to believe that there is a chip shop better than Giovannis in Piershill, Edinburgh. By far Scotland’s best chippy. A must go to tourist trip if you appreciate quality freshly cooked huge fish and chips. By the way, you must ALWAYS review the brown sauce in Scottish chip shops. Integral part of a “fish supper.” I might be wrong but I’m sure this mob from this chippy in the video opened a chippy called The Tail End in Edinburgh and it was really over rated and mega expensive. It closed down

[@davidbirrell8964]

I buy bottles of chippy sauce from my local supermarket and post it to my niece in Wales as that's one of the things that she misses having moved down there from Dunfermline a few years ago. I'm sure it's a central belt of Scotland sauce as it's made by Gold Star in Glasgow, the same company that do the chippy pickled onions. When my aunt had a chip shop she bought it by the gallon and filled the dispensers on the counter.

When I worked on a fishing trawler in the late 90’s I went to a chippy near the Aberdeen harbour and it had a Blue Peter plaque up voted BEST IN U.K. . Back then it was around £7.99 for a fish supper. It was good gear. I’ve had a cracking fish supper at the harbour in North Shields. Another harbour chippy in Maryport Cumbria does excellent fish supper. And my local in Annan called the Cafe Royal. Top class. (I’ve also eat at chippys in the U.K. that are TERRIBLE. The worst I had was a bland tasteless potatoe pate thing, disgusting, and half cooked chips between Carlisle and Newcastle, forget the town name).🤷🏻‍♂️🤟🏻😁
