Armed with our trusty gas stove, we searched the island before stumbling across Anchor Seafoods at the end of the pier. It was closed when we first approached it - were we to be twarted at the final turn??! No, we popped back 15 minutes later and the lovely lady had returned and we were able to peruse a fine selection of freshly caught seafood. The shop owner was quite charmed by my boyfriend, and seemed completely amazed that a Brazilian should turn up in her little shop in Portree!! The fish selection was super fresh and so appealing. It took a lot of resistance and will power not to walk away with too much, but we had to bear in mind we had no way of storing the produce. It was quite pricey but we decided it would be worth every penny. We settled for some scallops and prawns and headed off to find a secluded section of beach where we could cook up our feast and make all our fantasies come true!! Top quality seafood from a top quality place.

The entrees were exceptional; I had a lovely, thick piece of cod, with a beautiful butter and lemon sauce with grape tomatoes, and they subbed out a stacked potato dish, due to my gluten allergy, and it was delicious. My husband had the scallops with pork belly, and while both were fantastic, the pork belly was truly amazing. We also had a side of the seasonal vegetables, which were crisp and very fresh.

~*~*~ pre-covid review ~*~*~…read more In a tiny little village, an hour drive away from the biggest town on the isle of Skye, there's this little gem that is Michelin-rated, but really just looks like it's in somebody's house next to a small fishing village. It was one of the best seafood meals I've ever had in my life, which is huge because I grew up by the sea and had some of the freshest seafood growing up. The menu looks quaint -- you get a 3-course or a 5-course meal, at a pretty reasonable price. I've travelled too far to get here, so of course I opted for as much food as I can get. We started with some bites -- fried smelt with aioli, and some bread with smoked fish butter. Then came the first course, "soup and a sandwich". Wow -- it was the best chowder I've had, along with the best grilled cheese with crab... the mister was practically crying with joy; it was his favourite comfort food, just upgraded 100000x. We would've no regrets going home just after this course. But there's more to come! We had three expressions of scallop. So fresh, and such deliciousness! We then moved on to lobster and bay prawns, and lastly of the savory dishes, the monkfish with asparagus. I'm normally not a fan of monkfish, but here, it was expertly prepared, and tasted so delicate with the asparagus and cream sauce. Dessert was great as well. The clootie dumpling soufflé was just scrumptious, whereas the assorted desserts had just about all the things -- chocolate, sherbet, candied sugar and cream. I'm just glad I had a chance to visit this part of the world, and that I took some time to come to this little restaurant. It was unforgettable, and worth every single bite.
