Pescado Frito Entero con Ensalada y Aguacate
Whole Fried Fish with Salad and Avocado
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour or cornstarch breading. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
A whole fish (commonly Red Snapper or Tilapia) deep-fried until golden and crispy, usually seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and lime. It is essential to ensure no flour or cornstarch breading is used, and to omit typical high-carb sides like fried plantains (tostones) or rice, requesting salad and avocado instead.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Red Snapper), salt, pepper, lime, cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, lard).
How to make it keto
Confirm no flour or cornstarch breading. Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing, and slices of avocado, instead of traditional sides.
Watch out for
Flour/cornstarch breading, automatic serving of tostones/rice, sugary salad dressings.
