Robert and Alison Smith, who own Anstruther Fish Bar in the East Neuk of Fife, have centuries-old family ties to the East Neuk fishing trade.

That history is why their multi-award-winning fish and chip shop in Anstruther can fairly be called a labour of love. Haddock is the speciality, of course, but you will find dressed crab and more from the sea besides. Anstruther is the largest of the pretty East Neuk fishing villages, known for its colourful harbour fronts, its bobbing masts and its award-winning fish and chips. Take time, too, to visit the Scottish Fisheries Museum, home to an extensive collection of historic boats and seafaring paraphernalia.

Did you knowJust nowWritten byLaurie GoodladMore from Laurie

Laurie Goodlad, a fisherman's daughter, joined the long queue at The Seafood Shack, a food trailer behind the harbour in Ullapool.

‘Diners can choose to take their food away or eat it at one of the wooden benches outside the trailer. We were lucky enough to get a table, and the sun was shining, which was a bonus. What The Seafood Shack proves is that seafood doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need a vast kitchen or a swanky West End restaurant.’
