How to make it keto
Request the fish to be prepared without flour or minimal flour dredging (though it's common to use some). Explicitly ask for no rice, no beans, and no plantains (tostones/maduros). Ensure salad dressing is oil and vinegar-based, free of sugar.
Watch out for
Light flour dredging on the fish, sugary salad dressings, hidden sugars in marinades or seasoning blends.
