Til Keto Stjerneskud, ingen toast tak. Er fisken u-paneret? Er remoulade/dressing keto og uden sukker? Og er stegt fisk tilberedt i smør eller fedt?

Watch out for
Toast (explicitly removed), breading on fried fish, hidden sugars in remoulade or other dressings, some restaurants might use thickeners with flour in sauces.
