hmfc_liam06 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Don't know if it's open but was excellent when I was there last year. Doubt I'd drive specifically there for it but sometimes pass on the way back from golf etc so nip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Lyon Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Haven't been for about 3/4 years and it isn't as good. The batter on the fish was a bit mushy on the inside. I think the problem is its popularity and they are trying to satisfy a lot of people in a short time. Queue was out the door on our last visit. Don't know if it is open.

¼½¾ Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Their facebook page says they're opening in early July. However good it is, I doubt it's worth travelling that far, unless you really like a fish supper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to The Fishmarket a couple of weeks back for the first time. It was very good. Expensive though at 10 quid for a fish supper. Just make sure you order through their website before you go as you cannot order in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Visit at least once a year. If the queue isnt crazy we join it. If not, the chippy about 6 doors along is pretty decent too. Not a huge fish fan but both of these chip shops (and the one at Port Seton) do a lovely fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It's decent (per my last visit last year). There's another fish bar about a minute away from it which is just as good (and without a queue). The Fish Hoose in Thornton is pretty good. I believe its owned by the same folk who have one in St Andrews (Cromar's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee chippie at the other end of the street is better (up a wee alley). The big chippies awright but nowhere near the fuss and queue etc. Just a name, really. Used to be better I think. Def don't eat in unless you want to eat in the 80s. The chippy in Pittenweem is cracking. It's decent qual but also just like someone's front room, a lady of about 90 and the boy taking the fish oot the fryer wi his bare hands!

It changed hands just over a year ago but the quality remained. Always stop there when I'm on the Mild Trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a couple of mates who go there every year for a few days and swapped from the Anstruther to the Wee Chippie a while ago and won't be back to the Anstruther.
