Had some proper fish and chips from The Anchor at the Hopkins Food Truck Festival! Light and crisp fish, uncomplicated tartar as it should be, & and stubby chips with fresh sprinkled sea salt. On my Top 3 list-these folks have great recipes and technique.
Great food and service! We will be back!
The fish. The chips. So simple, nothing fancy, but they get it right. The fish is crispy and tender with just a basic delectable batter and sea salt. The fries are (somehow) crispy and tender as well. Both are wonderful with no doing sauce. And the one burger they of l offer is really good too!Pro tip: order takeout and bring it to dangerous man brewing to pair with a not-too-sweet-or-syrupy peanut butter porter, or other great beer.
Some excellent, some not so much. The shepherds pie was outstanding. The meat patsies were nice and crispy, but could have used a bit more filling. The fish on the fish and chips was cooked perfectly, and the batter was light and crunchy, if a bit oily. The only real downside were the chips. Good flavor, but under cooked and soggy. We'll be trying it again an hope to get crispy fries next time.
The place is hopping and quaint. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food is superb ❣️ The drink choices were great‼️We would definitely return and would also do takeout if we lived closer. The only thing we didn't care for was the curry sauce. And we would have preferred malt vinegar vs white vinegar as that's what is really served in the UK.
if you are gonna put it in the name then it better be good right? well they aren’t messing around because the fish and chips were on point! the batter was crisp and tasty while not being too heavy and the fish was full of flavor. that tarter sauce is legit too. the poutine was solid and our server was friendly and attentive. definitely my go to when i am craving some fried fish!
Oh my cod… ? it’s an understatement to say this filet floated our boats ? ?Fish and Chips with Coleslaw and Poitín Poutine ? ? ?Holy buckets of tartar sauce and fresh coleslaw This was some of the best fried fish I’ve found. Perfectly moist and flaky, with a crunchy, light, golden-brown exterior that doesn’t take away from the filet. Lay it on top of fried-to-perfection steak fry-style ‘chips’ and sprinkle on some sea salt for a dinner that’ll make you want to sail away—in a good way :)And how can you go wrong with poutine?! At The Anchor, they top those same fries ^^^ with cheese aged in the sandstone caves of Faribault, Minnesota ? and DRENCH it all in gravy, which is infused with Bent Anchor Poitín… stick with me, here’s where it gets interesting!So, what’s the deal with Poutín (Pot-cheen)? Bent Brewstillery teams up with The Anchor to produce MN’s first Irish-style moonshine-like drink. It is made with the very potato peels that result from The Anchor’s recipes! Resourceful, yes — but also “deliciously smooth, earthly… slightly smoky… with a full-bodied finish and just a hint of rounded sweetness,” At least according to their website ?Both fish and fry fanatics must find a time to dock at this delicious destination ? I know I’d drop anchor at such a hidden gem any time!
I really like Anchor Fish & Chips. Always good service and the food is great. Can 100% recommend. Thank you!
Ordered the fish and chips. When it is in the restaurant name and the first thing on the menu, that is the clue on their specialty. Fish is longer than the basket and fried just right. Batter was great as was the service.
Great tasting Fish & Chips and the Veggie Pastie. Was thinking Pastie would be like a Japanese Croquette, but was pleasantly surprised by the spices incorporated into the dish.
