Finding the best mozzarella sticks in the capital region … Today I have Anker's Fish House I arrivied about a half an hour before close, it was quiet. I was greeted as soon as I opened the door. The restaurant was clean and tidy. I ordered the mozzarella sticks of course With a side pasta salad. Served in about 5-10 mins after ordered. Hottt and def fresh. Let’s jump straight into these sticks.. They were really good. Like really really good. Huge amount of cheese. Perfectly crispy texture but not overly greasy. The breading was different than all the others Iv had before. It was like crispy I’m not sure exactly what goes into their breading. But I like it. Could have used a tad bit more seasoning. But other than that they are def a hit. They didn’t have Melba so I got the marina

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.
