Pescado Frito con Aguacate y Ensalada
Fried Fish with Avocado and Salad (Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request minimal or no flour dredging (if possible; some restaurants pre-dredge). About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
A whole fresh fish (commonly Red Snapper or Tilapia), seasoned with local spices and deep-fried until the skin is crispy and the flesh is tender. Served with fresh avocado slices and a simple green salad as keto-friendly accompaniments, instead of starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Red Snapper), salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil or vegetable oil for frying, avocado, mixed greens, oil and vinegar dressing.
How to make it keto
Request minimal or no flour dredging (if possible; some restaurants pre-dredge). Crucially, ask for no rice, no tostones (fried plantains), and no yuca. Verify that the salad dressing is free of sugar.
Watch out for
Flour dredging can add a moderate amount of carbs. Sugary salad dressings are a risk. Traditional high-carb sides will be served if not explicitly omitted.
