Sült Hering
Pan-Fried Herring
Yes, keto as served. Almost no net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Hungarian dishes.
What it is
Whole herring, lightly seasoned and pan-fried until crispy. A simple and flavorful fish dish, naturally keto-friendly and often served with lemon wedges. It's a great source of healthy fats.
Key ingredients
Whole herring, oil/lard for frying, salt, pepper, (optional: lemon wedges).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour or breading is used for frying. Request a simple green salad or steamed low-carb vegetables as a side, rather than traditional high-carb accompaniments.
Say this to the waiter (Hungarian)

Please fry the Hering without flour or breading. I'd like a simple green salad or steamed low-carb vegetables as a side.
