Whole fish (e.g., Red Snapper), garlic, oregano, lime juice, salt, pepper, olive oil for frying. (Modified to include a side of sautéed zucchini).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no breading* or a very minimal dusting of flour. Ask for no tostones, fried plantains, yucca, or rice. Request a side of steamed or sautéed non-starchy vegetables like zucchini or green beans.
Watch out for
Heavy flour breading, high-carb traditional sides (tostones, yucca fries, rice). Some establishments might use sugary marinades or sauces.
