Grilovana Riba (Grilled Whole Fish)
Grilled Whole Fish (Sea Bass/Bream)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no breading. About 1g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Montenegrin dishes.
What it is
Freshly caught sea bass (brancin) or sea bream (orada) grilled simply with olive oil, garlic, and herbs. A staple on the Montenegrin coast.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., sea bass), olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no breading. Request 'bez krompira' (without potatoes) or 'bez riže' (without rice). Ask for 'blitva bez krompira' (braised chard without potatoes) or a simple green salad dressed with oil and vinegar as a side.
Watch out for
Standard accompaniments are potatoes (boiled or grilled) or rice. Some marinades may contain sugar, but simple grilled fish usually avoids this.
