What it is
A whole fried fish (often Tilapia or Red Snapper), seasoned simply with garlic, salt, and lime, then fried until crispy. Modified to be served with a simple green salad instead of traditional starchy sides like plantains or rice.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Tilapia, Red Snapper), salt, pepper, garlic, lime, cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, olive oil) for frying. Side salad of mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, onion, dressed with olive oil and vinegar.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no breading or a very light flour dusting (ask for 'sin empanar' or 'sin harina'). Crucially, ensure it's served with a simple oil and vinegar salad, asking for no sugary dressings, tostones, or rice.
Watch out for
Hidden flour in seasoning/light breading, sugary salad dressings. Traditional high-carb sides like tostones, french fries, or rice must be strictly avoided.
