Hammerhead's Seafood Kitchen & Market

100% gluten-free

Hammerhead'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.

Hidden in strict celiac mode.
