What it is
A whole fresh fish, such as snapper or maya-maya, gently poached in pure, unsweetened coconut water with ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and green chilies. Traditionally, starchy root vegetables like taro are added, but they must be omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., snapper), fresh unsweetened coconut water, ginger, garlic, fresh tomatoes, green chilies (siling haba), onion, fish sauce, salt, black pepper, cooking oil.
If you order it anyway
CRITICAL: Explicitly request NO taro (gabi), plantains (saging na saba), or other starchy vegetables. Ensure the coconut water used is pure and unsweetened. Request limited tomatoes if strictly managing carbs.
Watch out for
Starchy vegetables (if not omitted), natural sugars in coconut water, carbs from tomatoes.
