How to make it keto
Explicitly request almond flour (or no flour/breading at all) for frying. Confirm oil used for frying is keto-friendly (e.g., olive oil, avocado oil, not vegetable oil blends).
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Dua kallamarët e fërguar me miell bajamesh, ose fare pa miell. A mund të konfirmoni që skuqen me vaj ulliri ose vaj avokadoje?
I need this fried with almond flour, or no flour. Please confirm it's fried in olive oil or avocado oil.
Watch out for
Traditional calamari is breaded in wheat flour, which is high carb. Restaurants may use less healthy frying oils. Ensure no sugary dipping sauces.
