The BEST fish I've ever had. The batter is to die for. Hand cut chips (French fries) that were the most incredible fries. The owner was so kind and the service was impeccable. I live near the ocean and this was the best fish I've ever had, hands down. They also provided apple cider vinegar & homemade tarter sauce! Dedicated fryer, knowledgeable of Celiac & no negative reaction.

🌾🚫 GF Items: All battered items can be made gluten free and are celiac friendly! The chips, clam chowder, and mushy peas are also gluten free. In place of malt vinegar, which has gluten, gluten free apple cider vinegar is provided.
✴ The owner Glynn who hails from Sheffield, England, was inspired to make gluten free options after seeing the difficulty a friend of his with Celiac Disease had dining out. All gluten free items are prepared in separate area and in separate fryers.
❇ Reccomendation: The fish and chips and clam chowder are the best I’ve ever had even pre-celiac disease diagnosis! The mushy pea fritters are amazing!
🐶 The owner Glynn has top notch service! He happily accommodated our family including our puppy by bringing a table and chairs outside for us to dine together!
This is always our first and last foodie stop when we’re in the Las Vegas area!

The BEST gluten-free fish and chips in Las Vegas in both taste and price is @TheCodfatherLV. It tastes just like the non-gluten-free fish and chips I've had in the UK prior to my celiac diagnosis.
As a Celiac living in Las Vegas, I'm trying all the places that have truly gluten-free fish and chips - which means they must have a dedicated fryer to prevent cross contamination.
When I arrived, I let the owner know that I was Celiac and he told me the ingredients in the batter as well as that they had a separate fryer.
I was surprised that for $15.50 + tax, the meal comes with a bottled drink! I chose water because I don't like soda, but this is a great value! I also added a side of delicious mushy peas for $2.50 that I ate once I was home.
Although they're closed Sundays and Mondays, I definitely prefer The Codfather to their gluten-free fish & chips competitors Summer House ($35.95 + tax and no drink) and Lazy Joe's ($18.95, cornmeal breading & no drink.)

Closed when we were there on a Saturday Jan 6th. Paper sign outside on door ripped so we couldn’t read it
I came because of the other reviews and was STILL shocked! Amazing food! I got the fish and chips. The person at the register was super knowledgeable! Told me all the ingredients and separate fryers even without asking. Absolutely amazed. My best meal since being diagnosed celiac 5 years ago!

Wow! So yummy. The owner even let me know what they used to make the gluten free batter and the clan chowder (also gluten free). Very generous portions. And they brought me apple cider vinegar since I can't have the malt vinegar (anyone else miss malt vinegar for their fries?) Be prepared for a wait. The line went to the door the whole time we were there, which shows everyone knew the wait would be worth it.

I am GF and DF, no problem at this place. Authentic English fish and chips. I had the haddock. Huge 16 ounce portion. Everything cooked separately. The owner is very knowledgeable. He even had apple cider vinegar to use. I highly recommend this place.

Had a chance to talk to the owner who told me why he offers GF! He has a good friend and past coworker who has celiac so he learned all about how to cater to the need. The fish and chips were 10/10! Get the haddock, it’s bigger!

My husband found this place when he was in town and raved about it. I came back on his next trip and he said we had to try it. He swore the GLUTEN FREE FISH & CHIPS were just like I remembered from years ago. HE. DID. NOT. LIE!! Seriously, it didn’t make sense that these were GF AND they even give you Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the Malt Vinegar. It’s heaven!! I’m sure the rest of the offerings are just as amazing because the owners truly love what they get to share with their customers. Just do yourself a favor and give them a try. BONUS: There was no heavy, oily feeling after the meal that you would expect. You’re willing to pay that cost but you don’t have to here.

6/23 - still so good!!
Update 12/2022 - still amazing!
Best fish and chips (gluten free or non) that I've ever had. An order comes with 1 very large piece of fish and a decent amount of fries - they will bag up the GF separate from the non GF if you are with others.
Tartar sauce is GF and probably the best I've ever had! Haven't tried the Chowder yet but it is gluten free and probably great as well
Very nice crew and highly recommend!! Separate fryers & prep station. We ordered 1 GF with 4 regular orders and had no issues for me (celiac)

The person who was working there (the owner maybe??) was very clear with what was gluten free. He told me exactly what was in the gluten free batter they used and gave me apple cider vinegar instead of malt vinegar.
The cod was not very good in my opinion, but I am not actually the biggest fan of fish generally, so it was good as far as fish goes. The chips were good.

The breading that they use on the fish to fry in dedicated fryers is perfect. The serving size is generous and the Clam Chowder is a MUST. We have a car plug in cooler and I brought the Clam Chowder along on our road trip. What a gem of a restaurant and a fantastic, safe place for GF dining.

This was amazing! They have gluten free batter and separate dedicated fries. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about Celiac Disease and lets you know everything that is in the different items.

First time - had a great time! Spoke with the Manager who discussed how the GF fish is prepared in a separate area and fryer. He also mentioned that the fries are in a dedicated fryer. Options available were the cole slaw (he's knowledgeable about ingredients), the peas (FABULOUS) and more. Even down to the tarter sauce and using the apple cider vinegar on the fish rather than the normal version so everything is GF. When the food was brought to me I asked how he would know which was mine and which was my husbands (both "looked" alike) and he told me the GF is always on the right and he's the only one who puts them on the tray and serves them. Plus they were lighter in color than hubby's. The size of the meals is very generous!
So for the food - the fish was so flavorful and the GF batter was delicious and crispy. Nothing flaked off. The cole slaw was really creamy. But the peas - OMG get the peas. Never have I had something like this and they were delicious!!
