Koktal
Baked Fish Platter (Keto, no potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request that no potatoes are included. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kazakhstani food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., carp, sazan), onion, tomato, bell pepper, fresh herbs (dill, parsley), cooking oil, salt, black pepper.

Koktal, please. No potatoes. Confirm no flour or sugary sauces are used.
Watch out for
