How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'grilled' not 'battered and fried'. Omit high-carb sides like chips or rice. Ask for steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach, green beans) or a simple side salad (dressing on the side, no croutons).
Watch out for
Breaded/battered versions of fish, sugary marinades or glazes, high-carb traditional sides (chips, rice, mashed potato, sweet potato).
