A whole fish (such as a Red Snapper or Tilapia) seasoned and deep-fried until crispy, served alongside a generous portion of colorful, low-carb vegetables (like zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers) sautéed with garlic and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Pargo Rojo), zucchini, broccoli florets, bell peppers (various colors), onions, garlic, olive oil, fresh lemon, salt, pepper, cooking oil for deep frying.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no flour or breading on the fish. Request vegetables be sautéed plain or with garlic/oil/lemon, specifically without any starchy additions or sugary sauces.
Watch out for
The primary risk is the use of flour or breading on the fish. Sautéed vegetables can have hidden sugars or high-carb sauces if specific instructions are not given. Large portions of bell peppers can add up in carbs.
