How to make it keto
Ensure no breading on the fish. Confirm lettuce wraps are used instead of tortillas. Verify sauces are sugar-free and mayo/crema are high-quality.
Watch out for
Sweetened sauces or dressings for the fish. High-carb fillers in any 'coleslaw' accompaniment. Fried fish might use carby breading.
