What it is
Whole grilled fish (often mojarra or snapper), simply seasoned and cooked to perfection. Served with a side salad of fresh greens instead of traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., mojarra, snapper), olive oil, lime, salt, pepper, garlic. Side salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, simple oil and vinegar dressing.
How to make it keto
Request grilled fish (avoid fried/breaded options). Explicitly omit rice, plantains, or other starchy sides. Request a simple side salad with oil and vinegar dressing, no sugary dressings.
Watch out for
Sweet salad dressings. Tomato and onion in the salad contribute minimal carbs. Main risk is traditional high-carb sides like rice, plantains, or fried breading.
