What it is
A whole, often pan-fried or deep-fried, seasoned fish (commonly snapper or tilapia) cooked until crispy and golden. Served with a refreshing green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) dressed with oil and vinegar, instead of traditional high-carb accompaniments like tostones or rice.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (snapper, tilapia), cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola), salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, lime juice. Side salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Request no tostones (fried plantains), no rice, no yuca. Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing on the side.
Watch out for
Light flour dusting/breading on the fish (usually minimal for Dominican style), potential sugary dressings on the side salad if not specified.
