We just moved to Portland so now we get to go to Corbett Fish House but we often went to Billy's Boston Chowder House in Los Gatos, CA before the move. Billy's has a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The captain's platter is awesome. About half the menu can be made gluten-free.

Elite on the Bail in the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, UK.

With the exception of one trusted pub, I never eat out, because I am always glutened. However, we were on holiday... and the smell of fish and chips was so alluring! But I needn't have worried. These were the perfect gluten free chips!

Gluten-free Fish and Chips
English-style fish and chips are one of my all-time favorites. One of the dishes I've missed the most ever since going gluten-free. I've been discovering new uses for Rice Chex as a gluten-free breading, and this recipe for gluten-free fish and chips is one of the results. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

1 quart egg wash (equal parts whole eggs and milk, mixed well)
6 lemons halves, for serving

Celiac.com 05/27/2017 - The folks in Norwich, England know a thing or two about fish and chips. So does Lucy's Chips, which has operated a popular stall on Norwich market for the last 40 years.
So, many people were likely surprised to see Lucy's suddenly double in size. And likely even more were surprised to see Lucy's offer a gluten-free version of their popular fish and chips, each prepared in separate areas.
But Lucy's Chips stall is now under new management, which has driven both the expansion, and the introduction of a new menu to to broaden the appeal of their already popular staples.
Lucy's had already begun frying its chips in vegetable oil to appeal to vegetarians, and their new menu now boasts a range gluten-free items, including gluten-free versions of unusual products...

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Gluten-Free Fish and Chips
Celiac.com 09/28/2019 - A woman in the UK has launched a popular mobile gluten-free fish and chips eatery in response to her celiac disease diagnosis and gluten-free diet.
After surviving a bout with cancer, Adele Radford wanted nothing more than to return to her normal life and enjoy her favorite foods. Alas, that was not to be, as she found that her fight with cancer had left her with celiac disease, which meant a major change in her diet.
“It’s a little known fact that if you have cancer, it can kick off an an intolerance to gluten,” said Adele who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer eight years ago.
But Adele's set-back could be a big plus for people who love good food, since Adele's solution to the challenge was to buy a pink mobile food van, affectionately named...

  In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

  Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me
  
  Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com. 500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22. That is almost two years worth for me. 250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day. It's like half the price of Walmart.

  Outgrow celiac?
  
  Testing can't alone be trusted. Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food. Before the advent of TV dinners. Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper. Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how...
