Kamenice (surove ali na žaru)
Oysters (Raw or Grilled)
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh oysters, served either raw on the half shell with lemon wedges or lightly grilled. A naturally low-carb and nutrient-dense appetizer or light meal.
Key ingredients
Fresh oysters, lemon wedges, optional butter for grilling.
Optional tweaks
For raw oysters, request no sugary cocktail sauce or mignonette with added sugar. For grilled oysters, confirm no breadcrumbs or high-carb sauces are used in preparation. Simple lemon, salt, pepper, or butter is ideal.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Kamenice: brez sladkih omak ali mignonette. Če so na žaru, potrdite brez drobtin/sladkih omak. Samo limona, sol, poper ali maslo.
Kamenice: no sugary cocktail sauce or mignonette. If grilled, confirm no breadcrumbs/high-carb sauces. Lemon, salt, pepper, or butter only.
Watch out for
Sugary sauces (e.g., cocktail sauce, mignonette with added sugar). Oysters inherently contain some glycogen, contributing to total carbs, but are very nutrient-dense.
