Recently I visited another fish bar along the road in Anstruther- The Wee Chippy. Beautiful place. You should have taken a walk up the pier to the Lighthouse 👍

I visited that chip shop last year & imo it's the best fish and chips I've ever had I travelled 2hours for it and I can't wait to go back to try it again!

I used to go to Anstruther a lot as a kid, my grandad would do a lot of fishing and my gran would cook it up in the caravan, will need to visit again and have the chippy as an adult

You often see ice cream and fish and chips in the same establishments in Scotland, and it’s because the chippies were often run by Italians who came over before the first world war.

Pizza crunch? Never heard of that. Next time i’m down there i 💯will… I wish i tried haggis as well. I don’t understand how i was in Scotland and I didn’t try haggis tbh
@s.c7105 Жыл бұрын
Have yet to try haggis as well 🙃 Wonder if I can find it in Canada. I feel like haggis is tied with "legendary status" beside ~`neeps and tatties`~ in how I'd rank the savory spectrum of Scottish cuisine. Had a laughing fit over it at one point. But no, jokes aside, definitely wish the world didnt look down on things like blood and offal and like fish eyes - my mum always used to savor them after frying some tilapia; then again I'm just an outsider who happens to like the bits about cooking and cuisine in Monarch of the Glen (in season one :P which is all I know... also a lowkey Limmy / Brian Limond fan).

@@FoodieMeatsFood Pizza crunch is a piece of pizza that’s been coated in batter and deep fried. It’s usually done with those really cheap frozen pizzas, which sounds awful, but it is the best thing to do with those pizzas, because the frying brings out the sweetness of the tomato sauce and the flavour of the herbs.

What do I look for in a chippy , one that sells cod 🤣 Never been a haddock fan but for those that do this looked a very nice piece of fish but should be for how much they were charging. That's a 5 hour drive for me but not the first time we've done Scotland for a chippy tea , normally stick to the lowlands then we can do it in a day 😁
@StewartyMac 3 ай бұрын
Never understood anyone who prefers cod over haddock. Haddock has so much more flavour. I've always found cod to be very bland in comparison.

Hi there, Way overrated chippy. Try Gorgie Fish Bar in Edinburgh for the best supper in Edinburgh. Their Chips are unreal too. Also their Homemade Steak Pie Supper is the very best you will ever have, it's unbelievable. Crail Fish Bar 4 miles further along from Anstruther, it's way better than Anstruther and no queing either In both cases the fish portions are much bigger than Anstruther and the quality is way up there. Out of the two, Gorgie Fish Bar wins as the flavour of even the chips is the best ive ever had. Stevie in Fife.
