Keto Battered Fish

Delicious Keto battered fish is coated with coconut flour, baking powder, egg, and almond milk. Each strip of white fish is covered with coconut flour and then dipped into the low carb batter. The fish are fried in healthy fat (like avocado oil) that can handle a higher temperature. The result? Golden, brown, and delicious fried fish.

Why does the batter keep getting thicker?

Coconut flour hydrates very well. The batter will need to be used immediately to avoid this. If it begins to thicken, add 2 tablespoons of almond milk to it to thin it out. You can also use almond flour (replace 1 cup almond flour for ⅓ cup of coconut flour) to avoid that situation altogether.

What is the best way to handle the battered fish once cooked?

The batter is very delicate due to its low carb nature. Gently place them in the frying oil and then carefully turn them with a spatula. Also, use a spatula to transfer them to the serving platter.

How do I reheat the fish?

The best way to reheat the fish is to saute them or bake them in the oven.

Why is the avocado for frying the fish not included in the ingredient list?

The oil pick up in the pan is minimal, but if the avocado oil were included in the recipe list, the macros for the recipe would be incorrect since you do not consume the frying oil.

    The batter fell off and it just tasted like coconut.
