Key ingredients
Whole fish (trout or pike-perch), butter, fresh lemon, parsley, salt, pepper, cooking oil (e.g., rapeseed or sunflower oil).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes (Salzkartoffeln). Explicitly confirm the fish is not floured before frying; ask for it 'ohne Mehl' (without flour). Ensure any accompanying sauce is a simple butter sauce, not thickened with flour.
Watch out for
Fish is very often dusted with flour before pan-frying to create a crispier skin. Sauce thickeners (flour).
