Stewed Fish (Kingfish/Snapper)
Stewed Fish
Yes, with a tweak: request 'no rice, no provisions'. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Trinidadian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Firm fish steaks (such as Kingfish or Snapper) browned with a 'browning' sugar mixture, then gently stewed in a delicate yet flavorful tomato-based sauce with fresh herbs and spices.
Key ingredients
Fish steaks (e.g., Kingfish, Snapper), cooking oil, brown sugar (for browning), tomato paste, onions, garlic, pimento peppers, fresh chadon beni, thyme, water or fish broth, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request 'no rice, no provisions'. Ask the chef to use minimal or no brown sugar for browning, and confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener. Ask for extra gravy on the side.
Watch out for
Browning sugar, tomato paste, onions and garlic in large quantities, potential flour or starch thickeners, and the standard high-carb side dishes.
