Bahamian Fish Pepperpot (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no starchy root vegetables (yams, cassava) are included. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bahamian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, slow-simmered fish stew with origins in local indigenous cooking, featuring firm white fish fillets in a deeply flavored, spicy broth with bell peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, and a hint of a sugar-free cassareep-like base for color and umami. Prepared without starchy root vegetables.
Key ingredients
White fish fillets (e.g., snapper, grouper), fish broth, bell peppers, onions, garlic, Scotch Bonnet pepper, fresh thyme, sugar-free cassareep substitute (or minimal real cassareep), olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no starchy root vegetables (yams, cassava) are included. Confirm no sugar in the cassareep or other seasoning. Request a clear, thin broth.
Watch out for
Traditional cassareep can be high in sugar (use very sparingly or sugar-free alternative), starchy vegetables.
