What it is
Whole or filleted tilapia or mojarra, grilled or pan-seared with minimal seasoning (lime, garlic, salt), served with a side of steamed or sautéed non-starchy vegetables. The key is to ensure it's not breaded or deep-fried with flour/cornmeal.
Key ingredients
Whole tilapia or mojarra (or fillet), olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, mixed steamed vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, carrots in small amount), butter.
How to make it keto
Confirm the fish is grilled or pan-seared without any breading (sin rebozar). Request no rice, no beans, and no plantains. Ask for extra steamed or sautéed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans, asparagus) with butter.
Watch out for
Breaded fish is a major carb risk. Restaurants might include higher-carb vegetables like carrots or corn in a 'mixed vegetable' side; specify only low-carb options. Watch for sugary glazes if offered.
