Notes

4 Ketonians can eat from this amount of fish. You can remove the bones and make fillets after the fish has been baked and served with some vegetable aside. Don't forget the nice sauce from the bottom of your clay pot. 
To keep the fats up, we would recommend adding a tablespoon of our Keto quail egg mayonnaise or something similar.
