What it is
A whole fish (often Red Snapper or Tilapia), seasoned with lime and garlic, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Served with fresh avocado slices instead of traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Explicitly request no plantains (tostones), yucca, or rice. Confirm the fish is not breaded. Ensure no sugary marinade is used.
Watch out for
Pre-breading on fish (uncommon for whole fried fish but worth checking), sugary marinades (unlikely but confirm), and the default high-carb sides that must be omitted.
