Anchor Fish and Chips

I have wanted to write a post on Anchor Fish and Chips for awhile now. It is not a new restaurant and we have been many, many times. However, starvation always gets in my way. I have a tendency to forget to take photos when I am extremely hungry and by the time we get a table and order at Anchor I dive right into my fish as soon as it arrives. The problem is the fact that Anchor is so very popular and so very delicious and in rather small quarters. This is not their fault. Anchor would probably not be as wonderful and charming if it was a huge restaurant that I could go to anytime.

The first thing you need to know about Anchor is that the fish and chips are amazing. The breading on the fish is so light and crisp. The fish always tastes fresh. The chips are just the right amount of crisp, with great potato flavor. The prices are quite affordable too.

The second thing you should know about Anchor is that the food is deep fried in beef tallow. I think this contributes to the deliciousness of the food somehow. Apparently, the beef tallow is a bad thing if you are vegetarian. I don't think I will become a vegetarian anytime soon. Mostly due to this place.

If you have never been to Anchor Fish and Chips I very much encourage you to check it out. Just don't go when I want to go, so the wait is shorter for me! And Anchor, please don't go changing. I love you just the way you are!
