What fish is gluten free?

Most fresh, unprocessed fish is naturally gluten free. This includes cod, haddock, tilapia, salmon, tuna, halibut, and many more. The key is to avoid any pre seasoned or breaded varieties, as those often contain hidden gluten. Always check labels if buying frozen or prepared fish.

Why is fish sauce not gluten free?

Some brands of fish sauce contain added wheat or hydrolyzed wheat protein, making them unsafe for a gluten free diet. Always read labels carefully and choose certified gluten free fish sauce brands, especially when cooking dishes like stir fry or marinades.

Can you eat fish if you're gluten free?
