I have enjoyed Legal Seafood for as long as I can remember. I have been thrilled with what they have done with gluten free options over the past several years. They were the first restaurant I went to with gluten free rolls. They are the only place I know to get gluten free fried clams or fish and chips - they have a gluten free batter and use a dedicated GF frier.
Today was the first time I have been since I figured out I also have a dairy allergy. Avoiding both gluten and dairy is hard. Legal Seafood has changed the menu again as well. They used to have separate menus for the allergies. Now that pretty much everything on the main menu has a GF option, they have symbols on the main menu for "can be made gluten free". Like most places, they do still need better markings for the dairy free. At least asking questions is still a comfortable option.
I used to love the fried GF options but I also knew that the only way that breading stuck was with the help of butter or milk. I learned that the fried stuff uses buttermilk to hold the breading, gluten free or otherwise.
The lite clam chowder is ok. Not that this should ever be called chowda. It is a tasty clam and potato soup but it is not chowda.
I also had some lobster. The gluten free version of the lobster roll is substituting lettuce for the roll. This worked well for me, complete with the fries and coleslaw. So far so good on how I feel a few hours later.
Thanks again to Legal Seafood for a safe place to eat out.
