Bahamian Run Down Fish (Keto Modified)
Keto Bahamian Fish Cooked in Coconut Milk
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no root vegetables (potatoes, cassava, yams) are added. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A traditional Bahamian method where fish (often snapper or grouper) is slowly cooked in seasoned coconut milk until the milk 'runs down' or breaks into oil and curds, creating a rich, flavorful sauce. This keto version omits starchy root vegetables and any added sugars, focusing on the fresh fish, herbs, peppers, and the distinctive coconut flavor.
Key ingredients
Fresh fish fillets (snapper, grouper, or mackerel), full-fat coconut milk, onions, bell peppers, garlic, thyme, Scotch bonnet pepper (optional), lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper. Served with sautéed green beans or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Ensure no root vegetables (potatoes, cassava, yams) are added. Confirm no added sugar in the coconut milk or seasonings. Request serving with non-starchy vegetables only.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made seasonings or coconut milk, inclusion of traditional starchy root vegetables (e.g., potatoes, cassava, plantains).
