What it is
Fresh whole fish (e.g., sea bass, sea bream) grilled over charcoal, simply seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Traditionally served with boiled potatoes and Swiss chard, which must be omitted or replaced for keto.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Orada/Sea Bream, Brancin/Sea Bass), olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon, salt.
How to make it keto
Request the fish to be grilled simply with olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Crucially, ask to omit the traditional boiled potatoes ('bez krompira') and inquire if a plain green salad (without sugary dressing) or blanched spinach/cabbage is available as a keto-friendly side.
Watch out for
The standard potato/chard side is the main carb risk. Some restaurants might use sugary marinades (uncommon for simple grilled fish) or pre-made dressings for salads.
