    I wish I’d tried this and also The Wee Chippy, which some locals recommend. I spent three days in that lovely place and I went to Anstruther Fish Bar every day. Haddock and chips two days and the fish salad thing the other, which had superb salmon. No regrets but other places need a go. Not sure if you stayed over but I was at The Bank and I think you’d enjoy the breakfast.

    That fish and chips looked epic. We have a good one in sunny Southend called Seacrest in Westborough Road Westcliff. Best fish and chips in town in my opinion. Always had the cod which is excellent but on a whim recently started having Haddock and it is a revelation. Such beautiful food and always well prepared and a good price too. Well worth a visit.

    The first chippy you tried (Anstruther Fish Bar) is for the tourists as it was the number 1 for many years. It still is amazing.
    But us locals go to the wee chippy, or the waterfront as a second choice. The wee chippy is the current number 1 and has been for a few years.

      It was 'foreigners' who made fish and chips what it is today; Dutch Jews in the East End came up with the idea of frying fish, and the huge number of Italian migrants coming to Scotland (specifically Glasgow: second city of empire) set up fish and chip shops, really cornering the market. Equally, before setting up curry houses, when folk from the Indian sub continent came post Windrush, they set up fish and chip shops, selling curry and chips. Chinese and Greek Cypriot migrants did too. Fish and chips are perfectly capable of tasting like shit, whatever heritage the person selling it

    Great Yarmouth, Whitby not on par for fish , what a load of bollocks. Just a thin bit of fish in a lighter batter so cooks quicker so will be better. Thick bits of fish no good for deep frying. It's the process of cooking not the quality of sea fish as the fisherman in North England and Scotland fish same areas for cod , haddock etc.
