Gluten Free Frozen Battered & Breaded Fish

• Hook Line and Savor Battered Fish(Certified Gluten Free)

Hook Line and Savor offers two flavors of gluten free battered fish. Their Everything Crusted Cod is available at Sam’s locations. Their Roasted Garlic & Herb Crusted Cod is currently available at Costco.

• Pacific Crispy Battered Cod (certified gluten free)

Pacific Seafood makes gluten free AND wheat based products, so make sure you’re grabbing the right package. The gluten free products are certified thru the Gluten-Free Food Program. (In connection with the National Celiac Association.) You can also order it online. This photo was taken at Sprout’s, in California. Photo credit: @EveryTastyBite on Instagram

• Starfish Gluten Free Crispy Battered Cod (certified gluten free)

Starfish is actually part of the Pacific line. They sell their gluten free Cod, Haddock and Fish Sticks exclusively at Whole Foods. Click the link above to see the packaging, which is different from the Pacific packaging.

• AquaStar Crispy Breaded Alaskan Cod (certified gluten free)

The Gluten-Free Food Program states this brand has been in their certification program since 2014. Find these Aquastar gluten free fish fillets by using their store locator.

Gluten Free Fish Sticks

• Ian’s Gluten Free Fish Sticks

Ian’s Foods is known for their allergen free products. Free from 7 of the most common allergens, they do make fish sticks. (All products are sesame free, as well.) Find these fish sticks using the Where to Buy function on their website.

• Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Battered Halibut

This is back on shelves after a recall in 2020. Personally, I don’t think the new product tastes as good as what they used to offer. However, it’s a nice option for those wanting gluten free fish. 

• Captain Findus Gluten Free Fish Sticks

These Captain Findus Gluten Free Fish sticks are a product of Germany. Completely new to me, a follower noticed these at Olesen’s Food Stores in Traverse City. I believe someone mentioned that they’re also available at Plum Market?

I see no certification logo on these, and Captin Findus makes non-gluten free breaded fish items as well. I have reached out to them to see if they test their products to verify they contain under 20 ppm of gluten. I did not receive a reply.
