| Hay bales on the way to East Neuk |
|
Our Sunday drive this past weekend was the region of East Neuk ("neuk" is apparently a Scots word for corner). This area is a series of small, picturesque fishing villages just southwest of St. Andrews. Most notably for me, one of these towns is Anstruther- home to the award-winng Anstruther Fish and Chips Bar. After waiting patiently for a table, we were able to sample this legendary specialty. Sure enough, it was excellent. The fish itself was about as fresh as could be, and the batter is nothing like back home, it was very light and not at all greasy. After lunch, rain and general fatigue kept us from visiting as much of the villages as I would have liked, but we did have a nice walk around Anstruther and Crail. Visiting these little villages made me want to book a bed & breakfast and spend a week just reading, walking, and eating fish & chips. If only we had a babysitter......or a doctor for my inevitable heart attack.
