Smoked sprats, salt.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no sugary marinades or glazes were used (uncommon for sprats) and explicitly decline any high-carb accompaniments such as bread or potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Latvian)
Lūdzu, pārliecinieties, ka brētliņām nav izmantotas cukurotas marinādes vai glazūras. Un, lūdzu, bez maizes vai kartupeļiem.
Please confirm no sugary marinades or glazes were used for the sprats. No bread or potatoes, please.
Watch out for
Like other smoked fish, there's a minimal risk of hidden sugar in some commercial smoking brines. The primary carb risk comes from traditional service with rye bread or crackers.
