What it is
Fresh whole fish or fillet (e.g., Red Snapper, Tilapia), pan-seared or grilled to perfection, seasoned with local herbs, garlic, and lime. Served with a side of sautéed low-carb vegetables like broccoli or green beans, instead of traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Whole fish or fillet, olive oil, garlic, lime, oregano, bell peppers, onions, salt, pepper, optional low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans).
How to make it keto
Request 'grilled or pan-seared' (a la plancha) and explicitly 'no breading'. Ask for 'no rice, no plantains (tostones/maduros), no yuca, no potatoes'. Request low-carb vegetables or a simple side salad.
Watch out for
Breading if deep-fried. Hidden sugar in marinades or sauces. Starchy sides like rice, plantains, yuca, or potatoes are almost always served automatically.
