In a quaint seaside village where the aroma of saltwater mingled with the fresh catch of the day, there was a chef named Luca.
Known for his love of the ocean and a keen advocate of the keto lifestyle, Luca yearned to create a dish that celebrated the sea’s bounty in a healthful way. Inspired by the traditional fish fries of the village, he envisioned a keto-friendly version that would capture the hearts of both locals and visitors alike. Thus, Completely Keto Fried Fish was born.
Using a blend of fine almond and coconut flours seasoned with spices and herbs, Luca crafted a coating that turned each fillet of cod, sole, or catfish into a crispy, flavorful delight. Fried in butter for added richness, this dish became a testament to Luca’s culinary ingenuity, offering a guilt-free way to savor the flavors of the sea.
