They say the typically ‘British thing’ is to not be able to hear the words “fish and chips” without making that your next meal. I am 100% percent guilty of this. I love a good, classic fish and chips meal so I am always on the hunt for somewhere that is gluten free friendly.
As I’ve mentioned before I spend a lot of time in Devon and Plymouth and the obvious place to eat fish is by the seaside! My favourite spot to visit is Rockfish, a restaurant looking over the harbour at Plymouth’s Barbican.
They have restaurants all over Devon – otherwise known as Britain’s seafood coast – in Dartmouth, Exmouth, Torquay, Brixham and Exeter and source the majority of their fish from this area. They are also huge advocates of sustainability. Their cod and haddock is all sourced from certified sustainable stocks in Norway. As soon as you enter the restaurants you know you are in a place where they are passionate about really great fish.
Most of all, THE WHOLE MENU CAN BE MADE GLUTEN FREE and completely safe for coeliacs. Choose from any of the local fish on the menu which changes daily, pick whether you want it grilled or fried and add on unlimited chips. That’s right, bottomless chips…
Its a lovely atmosphere inside with big windows looking over the sea so you can watch boats coming in and out of the harbour. Or if you fancy, go next door to the takeaway shop and sit outside on their decking or stroll up the road and sit on Plymouth’s hoe.
I’m a regular customer to Rockfish and I can see it staying my Devon favourite for a long time. Good quality, tasty, fresh fish coupled with mushy peas, homemade lemon vinegar, tartar sauce and unlimited chips on the side.
Just try and tell me you will not run off to find fish and chips as soon as possible after reading this?!
