Gluten Free Everything Crusted Cod

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
The Gluten Free Everything Crusted Cod is a fresh, exciting addition to Hook Line and Savor’s lineup. This product features wild-caught, responsibly sourced cod fillets, coated in a delightful gluten-free breading inspired by everything bagel seasonings. If you're familiar with the iconic flavors of an everything bagel—poppy seeds, garlic, and onion—imagine that delicious combination layered over tender, flaky cod. The gluten-free bread crumb coating is surprisingly authentic and rivals traditional breaded fish, making it an excellent option for the entire family—kids will love it too, and especially those who miss enjoying crispy, breaded seafood.

What stood out to me the most when trying this product was the perfect balance between the crispy crust and the soft, moist cod inside. The fillets come in generous portions, and with a box weighing over a pound and a half (1 lb. 11.9 oz), you get plenty of value for your money. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch followed by the delicate, tender flavor of fresh-tasting cod. The everything seasoning adds a nice touch of complexity to the flavor profile without being overwhelming.

Easy Preparation and Versatility

One of the best things about Hook Line and Savor’s Gluten Free Everything Crusted Cod is how easy it is to prepare. The product comes with both air fryer and oven cooking instructions, and it takes only 20 to 30 minutes from freezer to plate. I found that using the air fryer resulted in an even crispier crust, but the oven method worked just as well for a hands-off approach. It’s a perfect meal option for busy nights when you want something delicious without a lot of fuss.

The convenience doesn’t stop at preparation. This cod pairs beautifully with a wide range of sides, whether you’re in the mood for roasted vegetables, a light salad, or even a side of fries. I enjoyed mine with some roasted sweet potatoes and a simple coleslaw, and it was a hit with the whole family.

A New Gluten-Free Favorite

What makes this product even more special is that it is completely allergen-friendly—certified gluten-free by GFCO, as well as milk-free, egg-free, and non-GMO. For those of us with dietary restrictions, it’s always a relief to find a product that doesn’t sacrifice taste or texture. Hook Line and Savor’s has managed to create a gluten-free option that tastes just as good (if not better) than traditional breaded fish fillets.

Beyond the taste, Hook Line and Savor also stands out for their commitment to community. They work closely with organizations like SeaShare, a non-profit that helps make high-quality seafood more available at food banks. It’s heartening to know that this company is not only making delicious products but also giving back to those in need.

Final Thoughts

All in all, Hook Line and Savor’s Gluten Free Everything Crusted Cod exceeded my expectations. The combination of crispy, flavorful breading and tender, flaky cod makes for a satisfying meal that doesn’t feel like a compromise in any way. Whether you follow a gluten-free diet or not, this product is a fantastic addition to any seafood lover’s freezer. Hook Line and Savor’s has once again proven that they can deliver high-quality, great-tasting seafood while keeping dietary needs in mind.

If you’re looking for a gluten-free fish option that’s packed with flavor and easy to prepare, Hook Line and Savor’s Gluten Free Everything Crusted Cod should be at the top of your list. It’s a delicious, hassle-free meal that brings the taste of the sea to your table—perfectly seasoned and wonderfully satisfying.
