Many keto adherents miss the crisp, cool taste of citrus in their diets, but there’s no need to forego them. The success of this dish hinges largely on the freshness of the fish. Ensure the fish you use is of high quality, has a fresh smell, and is consumed shortly after purchase. At Keto Fokus, we prioritize quality.
