Strictly request no breading, flour, or cornstarch on the fish. Ensure no high-carb sides like mandioca, rice, or potatoes. Confirm salad dressing is keto-friendly (oil & vinegar based, no sugar).
Watch out for
Hidden flour in the frying process if not explicitly requested without. Sugary salad dressings. Cross-contamination with breaded items in a shared fryer.
