What it is
A whole milkfish (bangus) marinated in a mixture of calamansi juice, soy sauce (or fish sauce), garlic, and pepper, then grilled to perfection. The bangus is naturally fatty, especially around the belly, providing excellent macros for a keto diet.
Key ingredients
Whole milkfish, calamansi juice, soy sauce (or fish sauce), garlic, black pepper, cooking oil (for grilling).
Optional tweaks
Ensure minimal to no sugar in the marinade. Request extra calamansi and garlic. Often served with a simple dipping sauce of soy sauce and calamansi, which is also keto-friendly.
Watch out for
Potential hidden sugars in the marinade. Soy sauce contains trace carbs. Sometimes served with a side of rice.
