Gluten-free fried shrimp

Recommendations for restaurants near Amelia, Jacksonville or St Augustine that offer gluten-free FRIED shrimp? Thanks!

Finding gluten-free fried shrimp in the Jacksonville, Amelia Island, or St. Augustine area is definitely possible, though options are somewhat limited as not all seafood restaurants offer dedicated gluten-free frying. Many restaurants are accommodating and can prepare shrimp using gluten-free flour or batter upon request.

Here are some recommended spots to check out:

  • Safe Harbor Seafood Market & Restaurant (Amelia Island): Known for fresh seafood and flexible kitchen staff, they can often prepare fried shrimp gluten-free if requested. Call ahead to confirm availability.
  • Salt Life Food Shack (Jacksonville Beach): Popular seafood chain with a separate gluten-free menu. They offer fried shrimp prepared in gluten-free batter upon request.
  • Catch 27 (St. Augustine): Focuses on fresh, locally sourced seafood. They are gluten-conscious and can accommodate gluten-free fried shrimp when asked.
  • Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill (Amelia Island): Offers fried shrimp and other seafood; staff are usually accommodating to gluten-free requests and can fry in separate oil to prevent cross-contamination.
  • The Reef (Jacksonville Beach): Casual beachfront restaurant; they have experience with gluten-free diners and can prepare fried shrimp gluten-free on request.

Tips for dining gluten-free in this area:

  • Always call ahead to confirm that the restaurant can safely prepare gluten-free fried shrimp, especially regarding cross-contamination.
  • Ask if they use a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items, as some places share oil with regular breaded items.
  • Consider other gluten-free seafood options if fried shrimp is not available, such as grilled shrimp or seafood platters.

Overall, Salt Life Food Shack and Safe Harbor Seafood are among the most reliable choices for gluten-free fried shrimp near Jacksonville and Amelia Island, while Catch 27 is excellent for St. Augustine.
