How to make it keto
Explicitly request no breading or flour on the fish. Ensure it is pan-fried only in butter or olive oil. Request no high-carb sides like potatoes or rice. Opt for steamed or grilled low-carb vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
Molim vas, bez pohovanja ili brašna. Pržite samo na maslacu ili maslinovom ulju. Bez krompira ili riže, samo kuvano na pari ili grilovano niskougljikohidratno povrće.
No breading or flour, please. Pan-fry only in butter or olive oil. No potatoes or rice, just steamed or grilled low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Flour/breading on the fish, high-carb sauces, or default potato/rice sides. Confirm no added sugar in any garnishes or sauces.
