Being from Fife, going to the Anstruther Chippy nearly every week, I can't tell you how happy this makes me. My Grandad took me there for years, when I moved to England, he took my Gran every week, he was so loved there that the Manager and one of the staffeven came to his Funeral. It is the best and will always have a special place in my heart.

That is such a heartwarming story about your grandparents. Food brings people together with lots of memories and it doesn’t have to cost a lot to make people smile… fish and chips are the best!! 😋

[@richardsymonds5159]

@@annaconda3083 Yes my Grandfather and his daughter my Aunt were responsible for my love of Haddock and chips and that was in St Albans 30 miles north of London. Mr Barker had a wet fish shop and fried on Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays, the quality was exceptional even by 1960's standards. Sadly he retired and as his son was not interested in the shop he sold up. The new people lasted just six months and it is now a house!! Very sad but indicative of what became of so many good quality and cheap Fish and Chip shops in the area. Now all that is available is very expensive replacements and as recently as 1970 you could get Haddock and Chips for 2/6d or 12.5p in modern money I think that £17.30 is too expensive!

[@MrArchie800]

Scottish person here, and I know a chippy owner (from another Scottish award-winning establishment) and they told me a very interesting thing…. that is; at certain times of year and in certain locations the haddock eat a far higher proportion of prawns as part of their diet, and that (regardless of how they are cooked) makes a huge difference to the taste! In fact many (good) Scottish chippy owners will travel far and wide to procure the catches where the haddock have been eating prawn. (Don’t know how scientifically proven this is but I can attest to the amazing taste). Cheers!

[@johngibson3837]

Hey up mate even if that's an old wives tale is makes sense to me and after all it is nature's way, there's something similar with tree's, firewood and time of year

[@davidmcguinness1913]

Aye but these two chippies don't. They buy fresh as the catch comes into the harbour. I heard roomers they both own the boat. LOL

[@will5989]

I used to travel to the Philippines regularly. November was the month the fish were known to be “fat”. The tuna and sea urchin was always good.

[@Charlie3vans]

Makes sense. Rabbits, grouse deer etc are all tastier when they've been feeding well in the summer rather than after a harsh winter.

[@GaryEats]

Interesting. thank you for that

[@Quaker521]

It was clear that you really enjoyed those fish and chips Gary but I think that the real winners are the people of Anstruther. To have two such excellent establishments in such a small village is outstanding. Thanks for a great comparison video guys. Cheers.

Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman Well I was lucky enough to watch this clip with my daughter tonight who worked in a chip shop to get her through Uni. She assures me 100% the Anstruther fish and chips are cooked in clean oil, and at the perfect temperature. She says most chip shops clean the oil once a week as its a chore, but if you do it every day, this is the result you get. Chris & Emma.

[@GaryEats]

Hi Chris and Emma. Great to see you on this one Emma and thank you for the many recommendations you have given your dad to pass on to me!

[@spaceodds1985]

Well said. It’s the same with coffee machines, clean them every day after use and the coffee remains great.

[@colinraine8245]

Beef Dripping though Chris not oil ... but yes clean

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

I definitely concur with this statement. You can taste it when the fat or oil is dirty. It ruins the meal. x

[@michaelpegasiou4531]

The first plaice I mean haddock looked delicious the batter was more tempura style really thin and light looking you should bring a lemon with you so you can squeeze some on top I’m sure the gilet must have an inside pocket 😊

[@simonh6371]

Ex-chef here, I can see the batter is really light by the way it's uneven and kind of drip-shaped, I think that's definitely made with beer and/or sparkling water, nice and cold, that's the best way to get a light batter. Seriously impressed by seeing the name of the boat that brought the catch in too. Fish and chips has become a bit of a treat nowadays, not like when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. A couple of weeks ago I paid £14 for haddock and chips but it was in Soho, it wasn't bad - but that was £14 for just the fish and chips, no curry sauce or mushy peas - and I reckon the one you had was probably nicer. I'm having haddock and potatoes tonight but it's defrosted smoked haddock from Lidl, and new potatoes from Tesco, with peas, all of it with a lot of butter and probably dill on the potatoes, I'd honestly prefer to batter and fry the fish & potatoes as chips, but that's a bit messy and hard work for me as I would have to make the batter and deep fry it on the hob. Still looking forward to it.

[@James-d7l3d]

Simon that's the best story I've heard in my life thank you

[@spaceodds1985]

Fish and Chips in Soho. The ultimate tourist trap destination, and I’m a Londoner. IMO the only place that did fish and chips in Soho was Dyonasis and that was a kebab shop. Best kebab’s I ever ate.

@@spaceodds1985 Yeah I know the thing is I was working there, in fact it was my last day there, in a shop; on Dean St, and normally I'd have had a meal deal from Tesco but decided to treat myself, as I hardly every have fish & chips nowadays.

It is worth repeating: The best fish & chips are cooked in lard and made from locally sourced fish and hand cut chips.

Those fish and chips, both looked the business Gary. Utterly outstanding, from an outstanding reviewer. Honestly you never miss a beat my friend.

[@GaryEats]

Both of them were outstanding, Dale

[@garywallace5602]

The fish was so fresh, it even winked at Gary. Give me a 10 star...I'm taking one for the team, here!

[@GaryEats]

Very funny lol

[@donaldanderson6604]

We used to stay in Anstruther when I was a kid. Wonderful place. My dad even did a beautiful oil painting of the harbour which hung on our wall for years so we looked at the place everyday. Will have to return for some fish and chips.

[@GaryEats]

Wow, that is wonderful to hear Donald

*Completely Spectacular fish and chips Reviews Gary Eats 🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* I found myself really craving fish and chips watching this,so must be amazing

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it Glenda

[@AllyRobson]

I saw another review of these places a few weeks ago, and decided I’d treat myself. I’d use my free bus pass to get there from Edinburgh. But ….it takes 3 hours each way ! You make it sound like it might be worth it ! Cheers Gary.

[@GaryEats]

Give it a go Ally, either of them are fantastic

[@thomascatford2627]

If you are in edinburgh ,and like fish and chips try the auld hundred in rose street .

[@danielproulx7288]

Anstruther fish is the clear winner! While they both looked good Anstruther had some details that I would favor, the first being cooking in beef tallow really ads flavor, second the batter was crispy but not greasy and thirdly the chips where proper chips not a bunch of scraggly small pieces. Definitely a 10* Like you said had you tried Wee Chippy on it's own you would have been delighted but in comparison it is lacking to Anstruther. Gary really enjoyed the review and your bravery in fighting off a hunger seagull....🤣 Cheers.

[@GaryEats]

Well said. I think the batter had nice bubbles which gave it an extra crunch!

[@CatherineDover]

What a beautiful place. The fish supper looked fantastic also the prices. Will definitely visit one day. Thanks Gary for a fabulous look at all food around Britain!

[@GaryEats]

It was a beautiful place, Catherine and what fantastic fish and chips x

[@jamiecalder2985]

I’ve been looking forward to you visiting Anstruther knowing you would be in for a treat! I was there a couple of weeks ago and was looking out for you and the camera man sorry I missed you. Brilliant review, I agree the Anstruther fish bar definitely deserves a 10* all day long! 😃👍

[@GaryEats]

I really appreciate that thank you so much Jamie. It was a massive treat, the best of the best

I don’t think I’ve ever seen you speechless Gary!!!! 😂❤

It shocked me an awful lot!

[@Jagrofes]

This is something I didn’t expect the algorithm to throw my way. Though to be honest I was always curious as to what makes a good box of fish and chips, so getting that info from someone in the know is nice.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for watching and commenting 👍

I'm Scottish but have lived in England for 21 years. I've never had fish and chips down here that matches what you get up there and my English husband agrees. ❤❤❤❤

[@GaryEats]

It's superb in Scotland

Happy Haircut Gary ! Thanks for another fantastic review of food that makes me want to drive straight there (or when its open)

You knocked it off with some cracking Scottish weather for your visit Gary.

[@GaryEats]

I was shocked the weather was so decent Joseph

[@WendyS-3]

Wow they must've been good to beat Yorkshire and Whitby Gary, and what generous portions from both. Anstruther is so beautiful too. Fab review as ever ❤😊

They were that good Wendy. I really appreciate that, thank you very much

[@jmfarrell5]

Great double review… everyone’s a winner 👏🏻👏🏻

[@GaryEats]

Both were winners in my opinion and thank you

[@margaretconnery7422]

I do like a crispy batter and that sounded perfect. It's not very often that i see you lost for words Gary.Fish and chips outside by the sea is a perfect place to eat .First chippy for me .Looking good Gary and i do like your haircut. Splendid review. 😊 🐟🍟 xxxx

[@rosemarymee]

Only in the winter. In the summer it’s heaving with tourists and you practically have to park in the next village. Still worth the effort!😊

[@MikePuplett]

Gary, I lived in Pittenweem (next village along from Anstruther) when I was a Coastguard Officer at Fife Ness from 1996-1999. I often stopped at Anstruther Fish Bar on my way home, it was a treat to look forward to even then. That place has been winning national awards for years, and no wonder. Brought back happy memories seeing you in the East Neuk of Fife.

[@GaryEats]

I am really pleased this brought you back some wonderful memories and thank you for the job you’ve done as well Mike

[@manwingchi9156]

After Gary review, this two fish and chip shops are even more famous. The main ingredients is fresh. 😊😊😊

[@GaryEats]

Haha, I think Anstruther is famous with or without my say so

[@heatherkinneavy1167]

Good evening mister G and CM. Hope you're both well. I think both chippy meals were tops but the first one, for me, just pipped it cos the batter was lighter in colour and looked more appealing! Both good though! That poor seagull-gone home starving!! Looking forward to your next one! Have a good evening lads. 😊

[@GaryEats]

All good thank you. I think exactly how you do Heather, great minds think alike! Take care

[@heatherkinneavy1167]

Mushy peas are my canary in the coal mine for fish and chip shops. If they're fresh and well seasoned, you're in for a treat. Love that we're exploring a bit further afield. Really enjoyed this one!

[@GaryEats]

Both on this occasion were amazing

[@Pco4justice]

Wow praise indeed Gary fair play to a chip shop that takes Yorkshire on 😂 glad you enjoyed your fish and chips and tartare sauce. Great view too of the boats safe travels as always 😊

It's not just taken them on, it's smashed them!

[@almath9987]

Leaving fish sitting for 10 mins in the open and no Seagulls 😱 must of been a kill on them 😂

[@elainedreamies7380]

That's what I thought, if he was in Cornwall he wouldn't even get a chance to eat his fish and chips.

I gave them a backhander so they didn't get involved

Gulls gravitate towards tourist attractions where they know they are going to get fed 24/7.

It always going to be a 10 at our late queen's chippy. Glad we have had a proper review now after everyone else been there to review. Straight up Gary I love the food reviewers. But your number 1 out there atm

[@GaryEats]

Utterly brilliant Carl and wow you're very kind

[@Carl-s4i]

@GaryEats mate you are cool without even knowing it. That's what is special about you

[@geebee6737]

We visited last summer and being disabled ate inside at both , tried Anstruther fish and chips on the first day and in all honesty thought they were just average and over hyped but it was exceptionally busy being the height of season. On recommendation from a local we opted for the Wee chippy the following evening and were utterly delighted we'd actually found the best chippy , under the same pressure as the rated one but they delivered....glad you enjoyed them both mate 👍

[@GaryEats]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe they get too busy and it causes quality to decrease

[@geebee6737]

Glad you enjoyed it Gary I live 20 miles north in Broughty Ferry and yes the Fish Suppers are wonderfull in Anstruther btw it's pronounced Anstr-other 😀

I really have to agree with this, I don't watch any other food reviewers, none of them can hold my attention for long, Rate My Takeaway is just annoying and nothing gets remotely close to the content Gary regularly gives us
