Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free cornflakes and rice flour make the crisp coating; every grain ingredient is labelled gluten-free.
- Wheat allergy: The coating uses gluten-free cornflakes and rice flour, with no wheat ingredients.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free cornflakes and rice flour give the fish its crunchy coating.
- Picky eater: Familiar crisp fish and chips come with peas served separately for dipping.
- No spicy food: Bay and a small amount of black pepper season the crisp fish without chili.
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.
