How to make it keto
Request 'sem batatas' (without potatoes) or 'sem arroz' (without rice). Ask for a side of steamed or grilled green vegetables (e.g., 'legumes cozidos' like broccoli, green beans, or spinach) instead.
Watch out for
Always check for hidden marinades, though most grilled fish is simply seasoned. The primary risk is the ubiquitous starchy side dishes (potatoes, rice).
