2 Best Restaurants in Anstruther, Fife and Angus

Next door to the Scottish Fisheries Museum, this popular fish-and-chips shop has a functional space to eat, but most people order takeout. Try local specialties including Pittenweem prawns in batter or the catch of the day, which could be mackerel (line caught by the owners), hake, or local crab.

Entered through a cobbled courtyard, this unpretentious, atmospheric restaurant is run by talented head chef Billy Boyter and family. The prix-fixe meals (including the six-course lunch menu for £75 and the eight-course dinner menu for £120 per person) feature locally sourced seafood and meat such as crab, hake, mussels, beef, lamb, and quail. Plates are elegant, understated, and inventive, very much in the style of the new breed of Scottish chefs. For a true gourmand splurge ask to pair your tasting menu with some wonderful wines.
