Anstruther


We should go see Anstruther, and no Anstruther isn’t a woman. It’s a town in East Neuk on the coast of Fife. Traditionally it was a fishing village but now tourism is the most important industry. It's home to the Scottish Fisheries Museum, the Ship Tavern (interesting local color), and a nine hole golf course that I’m told is quite good. So which of these draws us to Anstruther?
None of the above. It’s the Anstruther Fish Bar, voted the best fish and chip shop in all of Britain in 2001-2002 and 2008-2009. Check it out! All the fish is caught and processed locally. We can eat in the restaurant, unusual for a Scottish chippy, or our fish and chips can be consumed take-away across the street near the harbor. I guess that’s one meal we don’t have to worry about!

  1. Looks great... but how will we decide whether to dine in or take away? I suggest we try both-just to make sure we're getting the full experience!
