Is there a gluten-free alternative to all-purpose flour for the batter?

Absolutely! You can use gluten-free flour blends, almond flour, or rice flour for a gluten-free version of this recipe.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

For a vegetarian twist, try using thick slices of cauliflower or zucchini instead of cod, adjusting frying time as needed.
