How to make it keto
Request without potatoes, rice, or other carb sides. Confirm no flour or starch is used for dredging the fish or thickening the sauce. Specify only low-carb vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Das Zanderfilet bitte ohne Kartoffeln, Reis oder andere Kohlenhydratbeilagen. Wird der Fisch nicht paniert und die Sauce nicht mit Mehl/Stärke angedickt? Nur Low-Carb Gemüse, bitte.
Zanderfilet without potatoes, rice, or other carb sides, please. Is the fish not floured or the sauce thickened with flour/starch? Only low-carb vegetables?
Watch out for
Small amount of carbs from breading/flour if not specified to omit, high-carb vegetables (e.g., carrots, corn) if a 'mixed vegetable' side is not specified as low-carb.
