Gluten-Free Goodness at Corbett Fish House

I always know at least two or three people who are on a gluten-free diet, for one reason or another. And going out to dinner always becomes a challenge when trying to accommodate special diets.

Thankfully, the Corbett Fish House (5901 SW Corbett Ave.) fries up a mean gluten-free plate of fish and chips. In fact, everything on their menu is gluten-free, including the sauces and desserts.

It’s a weird phenomenon, actually. Eating a plate of fish and chips and not feeling sick afterwards. But that’s what happens. You see, they bread the fish with rice flour, then fry it in rice bran oil. It’s not greasy or heavy, just crispy and full of flavor. My favorite, and one of their specialties, is the chile-fried catfish, with a spice just beneath the crunch.

Bring the kids and they can get chicken strips, which are just as tasty as the fish and you if you are feeling particularly healthy, check out one of their salads.

My favorite dessert: the coconut rum torte. Layers of macaroons soaked in rum and covered in chocolate, there’s just nothing about that not to love.

Packers fans are welcome at the Corbett Fish House, as evidenced in their decor. They show all the Green Bay Packer games and serve up a football breakfast to boot!

Gluten-free doesn’t have to mean taste free. Feel good, eat good. Yum.
