I am very particular about my fish and chips, I should be, I'm from Yorkshire, where I believe we make the finest Fish and chips to be found on earth. However, today I paid my 4th visit to Findhorn, a delightful and dreamy Scottish village by the sea, where me and my partner paid our first visit to the Crown & Anchor where we ordered their Haddock and Chips. While waiting I logged on to their free WiFi to check out the news and cricket results. After 10 minutes or so the waitress brought our plates laden heavy with what looked like 2 battered crispy whales supported by an army of golden logs, that were of course the obligatory chips. At first sight I could not help but be impressed, but the proof of any pudding is in its eating. Cutting into the batter, it gave way with a satisfying crunch, which then led to the white pure flesh that was perfectly moist and cooked, just as I like it! It was not dry, but then again not too soft or wet, in fact it was cooked as a good fish should be, a balance of crispness with a slightly firm bite. Along with brown bread and butter and garden peas with a side salad, a huge wedge of fresh lemon, I have to say that the whole meal was truly great! I forgot to mention one thing here and that is 'vinegar'. We Yorkshire-men do not put any old chemical on our fish and chips, sad to say that this is what many Fish & Chip shops use nowadays, a bulk bought chemical that masquerades as 'vinegar'. It is tasteless, no true art in the brewing, and sheer watery dribble! I hate the stuff! How sad that a great plate of fish and chips should be let down and ruined by a poor quality vinegar. But NOT so at the Crown & Anchor! Because they have the true art down pat! they use my favourite, "Sarsons" a malt vinegar that compliments the very art of good fish&chips, how this one excellent ingredient makes for that extra flavour that you just can't do without. Well done Crown&Anchor! I am looking forward to round 2 in eating your great Fish and chips again, we both could not stop smiling at food this good.

What a Gin selection. Menu was terrific and our choices excellent onthe plate. Mine Host had an answer for all our questions so will rate similarly on T.Advisor ...��
