Glasgow man left flustered after seagull nicked fish supper
Brad Monaghan, from Springburn in Glasgow, made a seven-hour round-trip to try out a fish supper from the famous Anstruther Fish Bar on Scotland's east coast. The 32-year-old took two buses to get to the coastal town for their speciality haddock and chips.

After getting a replacement meal, Brad realised he had unwittingly caught a picture of the seagull in the act of robbing his dinner. Brad told the Daily Record: "The Fish Bar has been pretty big on social media and my pal really wanted to go, so we travelled three-and-a-half hours from Glasgow to get there. 'We don't drive, so we had to get two buses. We had to get the bus to St Andrews, then another to Anstruther. "I'd just sat down with my fish and chips. I'd only had one chip, then I thought 'I'll take a photo and send it to my partner'. 'I sat it on my lap and just as I went to take the photo, the seagull was there. 'It all happened in an instant. "Before I knew it, the supper was on the floor and there were about 10 seagulls around about it. It was gone in minutes. At this point, I didn't know I had the photo. I was a bit flustered in the panic and put my phone away.'

While reordering, Brad told the staff about the brazen seagulls which decided to pinch his dinner. 'I went to buy another one but they said 'don't worry, we'll give you it for nothing'", Brad added. 'After I ate the second supper, I checked my camera roll and couldn't believe my eyes. My pal was in stitches. He was buckled. 'I don't know how I managed to get such a perfect photo.' The foodie added: 'It was a long way but worth it, right enough. It was the best fish supper I've had and the staff were brilliant.' Anstruther Fish Bar kitchen manager Laura Armit said: 'I was there bringing in the tables and chairs, and it lifted it clean out of his hand. 'I've worked here a long time, and I've never seen them taking something straight out of your hand. I think he was just super unlucky, so I got him a replacement supper.'

Finally, the 2025 100 Top Tables list has now been unveiled. So if you need more fine dining restaurants to choose from, our new and updated guide has got you covered. Friday, March 14 Dishes from Fish Bar's Colouring Nature tasting menu. Photo: Handout It's common knowledge that art month in the city doesn't limit itself to galleries and large-scale art events. Hong Kong's restaurants are always quick to offer a menu or special dish that's on theme. And this art month, Fish Bar goes one step further with an artistic culinary journey that celebrates the beauty of nature and showcases a symphony of colours. Created using sustainable seafood, the Colouring Nature: Exotica Umami tasting menu is a four-course dinner made in partnership with Exotica Umami – a versatile sauce reinvented from an ancient Roman marinade. Served at the alfresco seafood restaurant inside the JW Marriott Hotel, the dinner includes dishes including an artfully presented 'cod mosaic', a refreshing tuna tartare made with house-grown perilla from the JW garden, and prawn tacos with braised tofu and Exotica Umami aioli.
