How to make it keto
Request fish grilled with only olive oil, salt, and pepper. Explicitly ask for no potatoes (krumpir) and no 'blitva s krumpirom' (swiss chard with potatoes). Instead, request plain blitva (swiss chard) or green salad with olive oil and vinegar.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Molim vas, Riba na Gradele samo na maslinovom ulju, soli i papru. Bez krumpira i blitve s krumpirom. Umjesto toga, molim blitvu ili zelenu salatu s maslinovim uljem i octom.
Please grill the Riba na Gradele with just olive oil, salt, and pepper. No potatoes or blitva s krumpirom. I'd like plain blitva or a green salad with oil and vinegar.
Watch out for
Potatoes or potato-based sides (e.g., blitva s krumpirom), bread served with the meal, potential hidden sugars in marinades (rare for simple grilled fish), sauces, or salad dressings.
