Pescado Frito Entero
Whole Fried Fish (with Avocado & Green Salad)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, plantains (tostones), or other starchy accompaniments. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole fish, typically Red Snapper or Tilapia, seasoned and deep-fried until crispy. The fish is flavorful and moist inside. For a keto meal, it's accompanied by fresh avocado slices and a crisp green salad, ensuring no starchy sides like plantains or rice are served.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Red Snapper, Tilapia), lemon, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, cooking oil (for deep-frying). Served with avocado and a green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber). Minimal flour dredging may be present in restaurants.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, plantains (tostones), or other starchy accompaniments. Inquire about dredging; if flour is used, ask for no dredging or a very light dusting. Opt for oil and vinegar for the salad dressing.
Watch out for
Flour dredging, hidden sugars in salad dressings.
