Kids’ plate: Fish and chips
On the plate: Plain battered cod pieces, soft potato chips and mashed peas, with herbs kept mild.
Make it a game: Make a little fish-and-chip shop on the plate. The peas can be the green garden beside the chips.
Set it aside at step 4, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Rice flour coats the cod; the dish has no soy, seaweed or kelp.
- Gluten-free: Certified gluten-free rice flour makes the crisp fish coating without wheat, barley or rye.
- Low-histamine: Fresh cod, peas, potatoes and fresh herbs provide the flavour without citrus, vinegar or fermented sauces.
- Kid (4–12): Mild battered cod, soft chips and mashed peas keep the flavours familiar.
- Toddler (1–3): Soft chips, mashed peas and small flakes of fresh cod make an easy-to-eat plate.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
