How to make it keto
Crucially, request no flour or breading on the fish. Explicitly omit traditional high-carb sides like rice, plantains, or root vegetables (yuca, batata). Ask for steamed or grilled non-starchy vegetables with butter instead.
Watch out for
Flour/breading on the fish, sugary marinades (uncommon for simple fried fish but possible), traditional high-carb vegetable sides (e.g., yuca, plantains, rice).
