How to make it keto
Explicitly request no breading or flour on the fish. Confirm the encurtido dressing has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Fish might be lightly floured by default; pickled vegetables might have added sugar in the brine; usually served with high-carb sides (tostones, rice), ensure omission.
