Hammerhead's Seafood Kitchen & Market
100% gluten-freeHammerhead's Seafood Kitchen & Market, on Ottawa Street North in Hamilton, runs a 100% gluten-free kitchen: fish and chips, breaded fish, lobster rolls and fried chicken. Beer containing gluten is served at the bar (alongside gluten-free beers), and malt vinegar, which contains gluten, is offered in the dining room but not used in the kitchen.
No wheat, rye or barley flour ever enters the establishment.
Good to know if you have celiac disease
Gluten-removed barley beer. Some beers sold as "gluten-free" are barley beers treated enzymatically. Tests cannot reliably measure their residual gluten: they are not recommended for people with celiac disease.
Malted barley. Barley malt hides in syrups, flavourings and cereals presented as gluten-free. It contains gluten.

Existing establishment; gluten-free level and risks confirmed at the source.
Sources — Verified on 08/10/2026: the official website's FAQ answers “Yes, we are indeed 100% gluten free”; it adds that malt vinegar (with gluten) is on the premises but not used in the kitchen, and that beer is served, including gluten-free beers.
