[taz sharratt]

went to town yeserday and by 5 was starveing so started the search for something to eat, in the end i went to the chippy to pick fish n chips up for the boys and hubby, i was in a kind of argumentative mood so i thought ide start asking the owner of the chippy about how he cooked chips etc and his ingrediants, well it backfired on me BIG TIME, it turns out that he is the first chippy in wales to run a celiac friendly chippy, i was GOB SMACKED to say the least, the oil is groung nut oil he uses seperate fryer and utensils for the food and to cap it off he uses gluten-free batter which is also lactose free. so i orderd 4 big bags of chips and fish, couldnt wait to start eating so was nibbling in the car on the way home andim fine this am. for uk ( ers) its in tenby. plus i didnt pay over the top and it was the same amount as other people pay for " normal fish n chips". AMAZING!!!!!!

You lucky devil!!

I'm yet to find a chippy in our town who even knows what 'cross contamination' and 'dedicated fryer ' means!

Hubbie really misses fish and chips.

Well done you!!

One more reason to add to the list of why I want to visit my ancestral home. I don't suppose you could get his recipe? I am so glad for you that you found this place and I am sure you will visit it often.

If not I use 60/40 buckwheat flour and rice flour .. works really well but I have to remember not to have it too often.

Here's a recipe we have used before-not sure how you convert measurements though as we use different here in Uk:

4oz G.F Flour (Rice flour)

Half a teaspoon of salt

5 fluid oz + 1 tablespoon of water

Mix flour & salt in a bowl & gradually add water whisking until smooth.

N.B-Keep the water in the fridge for an hour before mixing batter as it improves crispiness.

I found this recipe works out ok-but I must admit it didn't have the same crunch as wheat fl batter.Made a pleasant change though.

Here's a link to a company in Scotland that sells G.F batter mix for fish and chips-it looks great but I haven't tried it yet as it's a bit pricey!!

Yum!!

Thanks I'll have to try this. I used to make a beer batter and it needed to sit on a rack for a bit after battering, otherwise the batter fell off in the fryer. Would I need to do the same with this?

I just coated the fish in G.F flour and I found that the batter stuck sufficiently-

Happy Frying!
