Anstruther Fish Bar
Absolutely NOT to be missed if you have time for a trip to Anstruther (20min south of St Andrews).

An ideal visit when combined with a trip to Crail or Elie (consult the 'Surroundings' page). There are many fish bars on the sea front in Anstruther, but only this one is graced with long queues. Well worth the wait. Have a look at www.anstrutherfishbar.co.uk for more information.
