How to make it keto
Request the trout to be pan-seared *without* flour dredging. Crucially, refuse potatoes, rice, or any other starchy sides. Ask for sautéed spinach, green beans, or asparagus as your accompaniment.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Le poisson est-il fariné ? Si oui, est-ce possible de l'omettre ? Sans accompagnement féculent, s'il vous plaît. Je préférerais des légumes verts.
Is the fish floured? If so, can it be omitted? No starchy sides, please. I'd like green vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Traditional dredging in flour is the primary carb risk; ensure it's omitted. Starchy side dishes are also a major carb source.
