What it is
Fresh bream, a popular freshwater fish, pan-fried in butter or oil until golden and crispy. A very simple and authentic preparation.
Key ingredients
Bream (whole or fillet), butter/oil, salt, black pepper, lemon wedge (for serving).
Optional tweaks
Crucially, ensure no flour or breading is used for frying. Request low-carb vegetable sides (e.g., green beans, steamed broccoli) instead of potato or bread.
Say this to the waiter (Polish)
Proszę, aby leszcz był bez mąki czy panierki. Poproszę o dodatki warzywne niskowęglowodanowe (np. fasolka, brokuły) zamiast ziemniaków czy pieczywa.
Please ensure no flour or breading on the fish. Serve with low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli) instead of potatoes or bread.
Watch out for
Hidden flour or breading for frying, high-carb side dishes.
