What it is

How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or 'blitva' (chard typically mixed with potatoes). Ask for grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant) or steamed green vegetables as a side.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Riba sa žara, molim bez krompira ili blitve sa krompirom. Može li grilovano povrće bez skroba ili zelena salata sa uljem i sirćetom?
Riba sa žara, please, no potatoes or blitva sa krompirom. Can I have grilled non-starchy vegetables or a green salad with oil and vinegar instead?
Watch out for
Potatoes, blitva (chard often mixed with potatoes), bread. Some marinades might contain sugar (unlikely for simple grilled fish).
