Yes, with a tweak: replace traditional cornmeal 'fungi' with cauliflower mash. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bahamian food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
White fish (snapper/grouper), water, onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, celery, fresh thyme, scotch bonnet pepper (optional), lime juice, salt, black pepper. For fungi: cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
Hidden flour thickeners in broth, sugary seasonings, high-carb side dishes if not explicitly replaced with cauliflower fungi.
