Allergens

  • Fish: The dish contains fish (such as cod or tilapia). For those with a fish allergy, this dish is not suitable.
  • Gluten: The fish strips are likely breaded, so they contain gluten from flour or breadcrumbs. If gluten is a concern, it’s best to ask the restaurant if they offer a gluten-free option.
  • Dairy: The batter and some sauces may contain dairy (e.g., milk or butter). Be sure to ask if there’s any dairy in the batter or sauces if this is a concern.
  • Egg: Eggs may be present in the batter or used as part of the breading process. If your child has an egg allergy, be sure to ask about the ingredients.
  • Soy: Soy could be in the form of oils or sauces (like soy sauce in dipping sauces). Always check if the dipping sauces or batter contain soy.
  • Sodium: Due to the seasoning in the batter, fish strips, and sauces, the dish can be high in sodium, which could be a concern for those with salt sensitivities.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: If you’re looking for a healthier or lighter version of Kids Fish Strips, ask for the fish to be grilled rather than fried, and pair it with steamed vegetables or rice instead of fries for a lower-calorie and lower-fat meal.
  • For a more indulgent experience: Keep the fish fried and pair it with seasoned fries and a dipping sauce like honey mustard or tartar sauce for extra flavor. This will make for a more classic, kid-friendly meal.
  • For a gluten-free option: Ask if the restaurant can prepare the fish with a gluten-free breading or if they can grill the fish instead. Make sure the sauces are also gluten-free if needed.
  • For picky eaters: If your child is a bit more particular, you can request the fish to be served without any seasoning or batter, simply grilled with a little salt and pepper.
  • For a side suggestion: Pairing the fish strips with steamed veggies or fresh fruit can add nutritional value to the meal while keeping it light.
