Ceviche de Pescado o Mariscos (Estilo Cubano - sin Tostones)
Cuban-Style Fish or Seafood Ceviche (without Plantain Chips)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no plantain chips (tostones). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Cuban food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh fish or mixed seafood (shrimp, squid) marinated in vibrant lime juice with diced red onion, bell peppers, and fresh cilantro, seasoned with olive oil. This refreshing dish is served cold, with the traditional high-carb plantain chips (tostones) omitted for a keto-friendly presentation.
Key ingredients
White fish (e.g., snapper, mahi-mahi) or mixed seafood, fresh lime juice, red onion, bell peppers (red, green), cilantro, extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no plantain chips (tostones). Confirm no added sugar in the marinade. Ask for extra olive oil if desired for higher fat content.
Watch out for
Onions and bell peppers contribute natural carbs. Potential for hidden sugar in some restaurant preparations of the marinade. Risk of cross-contamination if prepared on surfaces or with tools also used for high-carb items.
