Grilled Whole Fish (e.g., Grilled Sea Bream)
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole fresh fish (commonly Tsipoura/Sea Bream or Lavraki/Sea Bass) simply grilled with olive oil, lemon, and aromatic herbs. A popular, light, and healthy main course.
Key ingredients
Whole fresh fish, generous olive oil, lemon wedges, dried oregano, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Request 'horis patates' (without potatoes) or 'horis ryzi' (without rice) if typically served with sides. Ensure no flour is used for grilling (which is generally not done for whole fish).
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Ψάρι Ψητό, παρακαλώ. Χωρίς πατάτες ή ρύζι. Ψήνεται χωρίς αλεύρι;
Psari Psito, please. No potatoes or rice. Is it grilled without flour?
Watch out for
None inherent in the dish itself. Minimal carbs from lemon. The main risk is starchy side dishes if not specifically excluded.
