Big Fish Grill Ocean View

Was a little worried based on other reviews. But I had a great experience. Many choices on the gf menu. I had Chesapeake Penne. I let them know I had celiac and told me precautions are taken. My Chesapeake Penne was delicious and something that you can’t get somewhere else. They also had Gf peanut butter pie and gf key lime pie. They did not have a crust on them but was still really good. Service was a little slow but I think all places are still short on help.

Gluten Free menu available on request. My daughter was excited for GF noodles. The food was brought out separate as a Gluten allergy. Service was slow.

I ate here with my family. I’m the only one with celiac. I told the server I had a gluten allergy. I ordered an orange crush (alcoholic) and had them replace the vodka with Tito’s since that’s labeled gluten free. When our salads came out mine had croutons on it (gluten). Thankfully I caught it and they replaced it free of charge. For the main course I ordered the salmon with asparagus and baked potato. The baked potato came with butter and sour cream and it was very good. The salmon was extremely bland and the asparagus was cold! My food also came out about 5 minutes after everyone else’s. My theory is that they messed up my main course as well and had to recook it. While I didn’t get sick I would definitely recommend staying on your guard if you choose to eat here. Double check all the food and drinks!! And the food was not the best :(

Well, we got carry out. We have to navigate various combos of gf, df, nf. Called in the order, the person taking the order was patient and knowledgeable. Important to know that crab cakes are gf (and delicious) but the fries it comes with are shared fryer. But the complete entree item (crab cakes, fries, slaw) is listed as gf on the menu. So be sure to ask questions. We were able to sub the fries without an upcharge. Food was great, I didn't get sick. HOWEVER, my husband (gf,df) ordered fish tacos. They were supposed to be on corn tortillas. We didn't open until we got home but we are 95% sure they gave us flour tortillas. Their consistency was the same as my daughter's quesadilla made with flour tortillas. To be safe, he did not eat them. So a bit of disappointment, to be sure. I would cautiously recommend, at least the crab cakes.

GF items are clearly marked on the menu and the server and manager were both knowledgeable and helpful in identifying safe food. I was able to have chicken wings (baked not fried) and a delicious piece of carmelized salmon with mashed potatoes and rice. The potions were generous as well. I definitely would return!

Delicious food, I’ve had the lobster bolognese several times! Staff explains how they take extra precautions.

Separate gf menu with lots of options. The manager came to our table and told me they take celiac and other allergies very seriously. She said they change gloves regularly and understand cross contamination. She brought my meal out separately. I had crabcakes with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was delicious! I did not get sick. Highly recommend if you have celiac!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Crab soup? Five stars! Delicious!! Veggie plate? YUM!! Risotto? Out of this world! Seafood tower? Meh. The raw oysters and clams were great as well as the shrimp but the lobster was too cold and tough. I wouldn’t get that again. Lobster bolognese? Surprisingly good. I never order GF pasta but my husband got the gluten free version of this so we could share. I had a different expectation for this. Good if you like a blush sauce. Service was great. Manager came over to confirm everything was GF. They take being GF seriously as well as other allergies. We will likely return just for the soup and risotto!

Excellent gluten free food. Very attentive. The manager came out and spoke to us and was very helpful. Best gluten free option around Bethany Beach in my opinion.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My favorite place in Bethany! They have a separate GF menu, which is always appreciated and a manager comes out to talk about how the food will be prepared and brings it out themself to assure you there is no contamination. Really thoughtful and really appreciated. My favorites are the cast-iron calamari and the shrimp or fish tacos. They also have great salads!

Tasted amazing! Many gluten free options! Came down for vacation and went there twice! So good!

The staff was great. Waitress took my order, then had the manager come over to explain their gf protocol. Meal was brought out by the manager separately from rest of the table orders. Had delicious crab cakes, sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. Plus they had a gf peanut butter pie for dessert which was super yummy! Be sure to specify gf when ordering dessert because they make regular and gf versions and that wasn’t clear on the menu. I was really happy that the waitress asked me to confirm. We came back the next night because I was so happy with the food.

Very good food. Extensive gluten free menu. Manager came to the table to discuss food handling. Couldn’t promise no cross contamination but said they’d change gloves, and manager brought GF food out separately.

Celiac friendly?

Great experience. Manager comes to your table after you order to go over how your food will be prepared. My celiac kids split a gf pasta with a crab cake on top. Very knowledgeable. Finally, a safe restaurant at the beach.!!!

Best GF dining experience we have ever had. Manager came to table to explain GF cooking process. Staff communicates via earpieces to ensure all staff is on the same page. Food came out separately and was delivered by a manager. Everything was excellent! Couldn’t be more pleased.

They really care. Management came out and went through the gluten free process. We felt extremely comfortable eating there. Food was good and staff was excellent. Would strongly recommend for a night out.
