Pescado Frito sin Empanizar con Encurtido de Repollo
Pan-Fried Fish (No Breading) with Cabbage Curtido
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no breading (flour, cornmeal, egg batter). About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole pan-fried fish (such as Tilapia or Mojarra) seasoned and cooked until crispy without any flour or cornmeal breading. Served generously with a tangy, crunchy homemade cabbage curtido.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Tilapia, Mojarra), cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, olive oil), salt, black pepper, lemon. Curtido: shredded cabbage, thinly sliced carrots (small amount), onion, vinegar, oregano, salt.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no breading (flour, cornmeal, egg batter). Request fish simply seasoned and pan-fried. Confirm curtido does not contain added sugar (a common restaurant practice).
Watch out for
Breading/flour on the fish, hidden sugars in the curtido, or accidental high-carb side dishes like rice or tortillas.
