Been going to Anker's my whole life. Absolutely the best fish house in the capital region. It doesn't really matter what you get. Everything tastes great.

Great place to grab a bite to eat. The fish is always fresh and tastes great and the sides (all of them) are delicious ?. And don't forget to get desert.

This is a Schenectady landmark,there use to be several fried seafood places but this is the one which remains.Robust menu with many different items,both meal specials and individual items.My most recent trip I got an individual fish fry and clam fry.Fish definitely lacked flavor and that flavor which was present was just kinda off,odd tasting.Clam fry was very good,crispy and perfectly fried.Word of caution,this establishment was pricey before food cost increases so be prepared to shell out some money.

Never Been There Before, Pass by It Everyday To Go To Work, I Ordered A Catfish Fried Fish and It Was A Waste Of Money, The Bake Beans Was Nasty, The Fish Was A Get By And The Mac And Cheese Tasted Spoiled, When I Walked In It Was A Bad Smell, The Dessert Taste And Bottled Drinks Taste Best Then Everything, Im Very Disappointed I Spent Almost $50 To Be Served On Paper Plates &&’Nd Little Small Cups With Tops On It When You Walk In And You See Perfect Take out Boxes Already Made To Put Food In, Will Not Be Going Back, Needs To Be Shut Down Period…

Nice pleasant staff, but have to give a honest review not my first time here, but not sure how many more chances willing to give this place food is subpar in my opinion.. Wasn't really that busy I don't understand the rush of slapping the fish right on a plate without fully draining it having it sit in a pool of grease making it super soggy on the bottom was not a good experience not the first time that has happened. Onion rings were overcooked and grainy. The coleslaw is damn near shred to a pulp I don't know if they are intentionally going for the consistency of rice or catering to a nursing home, also, the dine in experience could have been made a little bit better by having condiments on the tables you don't have that many tables in the first place that is just lazy in my opinion. Can't try to blame Covid because you do not practice Covid protocol. You are not disinfecting tables after customers or your doors and handles or wearing a mask. almost every other good fish place you go to will have your cocktail sauce, tartar,malt vinegar, etc. at the tables or at the very least a station with it in a pump so you can grab your own with the little cups instead of giving halfway frozen excessive amounts of cocktail sauce. ketchup packets for a dine in experience is trash.. and lazy..On top of that it would probably save you some tartar sauce and cocktail sauce because the amount that you give from the freezer or refrigerator is eight times the amount that a normal person needs. Nothing worse than spending $$ to eat out and being disappointed but hey, it's Schenectady, They are like the only one out here so I guess they get to get away with it. Pretty sure there are plenty of people that think it's great, but probably all they really know.
