Batson River Fish Camp

I’m from foody California, so let me say this first: I have very high standards! And with me being strictly gluten free, I’m really, really bored with restaurant after restaurant on the East Coast breading and frying all its seafood! Spoiler alert: the food here is top-notch and AMAZING! First, a shout out to gluten-free and vegetarian folks: there is some great stuff on the menu here for you! I came here even though the menu did not specifically say what was gluten-free. We had some initial challenges with the waiter and kitchen staff communicating clearly about what was gluten-free. But once the manager came over, she pointed out so many things that were/could be gluten-free— many of which I wouldn’t have suspected. For example: gluten-free pizza, gluten-free bun for the hamburger, gf lobster bisque, corn tortillas for fish tacos…. And so on. Even the fries could be put in a gluten-free fryer, but that was not suggested for celiac folks, since the oil is filtered and reused. We got tuna crudo, the mushroom pesto pizza, lobster bisque, and strawberry rhubarb goat cheese salad. Everything was DELICIOUS—and it was way too much food for the two of us. Drinks were good too. We’re going back tomorrow, if that’s any indication of how thrilled we were! Also, the atmosphere is great: they have a wheelchair accessible patio, and the fire place we sat near was great for this rainy summer day!
