May Princess
The five-hour trip to the island on the May Princess, including two to three hours ashore, sails from three to seven times weekly (weather permitting) from mid-April to September (daily July to September). You can make reservations and buy tickets at the harbour kiosk near the museum at least an hour before departure. Departure times vary depending on the tide – check times for the coming week or so by calling, or check the website.

Scottish Fisheries Museum
The displays at the excellent Scottish Fisheries Museum include the Zulu Gallery, which houses the huge, partly restored hull of a traditional Zulu-class fishing boat, redolent with the scent of tar and timber. Afloat in the harbour outside the museum lies the Reaper, a fully restored Fifie-class fishing boat built in 1902.

Dreel Tavern
This charming old pub on the banks of the Dreel Burn has bucket-loads of character and serves reliably tasty bar meals, with excellent handwritten daily specials. Chow down in the outdoor beer garden in summer. There are also some top-quality cask ales here.

Cellar Restaurant
Tucked away in an alley behind the museum, the Cellar is famous for its seafood and fine wines. Try the local crab, lobster or whatever delicacies they’ve brought in that day. Inside it’s elegant and upmarket. Advance bookings are essential.

Renowned chippie selling classy takes on an old favourite, such as organic Shetland cod, or grilled rainbow trout – with chips, of course.

Wee Chippie
The Anstruther Fish Bar is one of Britain's best chippies, but we – and plenty of locals – reckon this one is even better. The fish is of a very high quality, portions are larger and there's less of a queue too. Eat your catch by the water.
