I stay in Fife - approx 45 mins from Anstruther. This trip to Anstruther for a fish supper is well worth the journey. Yes, there is usually a long queue but seriously, don't be put off - you will not be disappointed. I would also recommend sitting-in too. Not to mention the lovely views of Anstruther harbour :) More

Visited this "resturant" on Tuesday after hearing so much about it, I wish we hadn't bothered!! Fish was so thin you couldn't taste it and batter was vile to tell the truth! We won't be back as i'm sure most of the local don't go here, all the customers were visitors!! What a disappiontment! More

We chose to eat in and were lucky enough to be seated by a window. Staff were very pleasant. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. Lovely fish and crisp batter. I enjoyed the traditional mug of tea and sliced bread with it! A well run chippy, we'll be back. The ice cream counter looked tempting, but I had no... More
