Trout is a mild freshwater fish with a decent amount of natural fat, so it sits nicely on keto. It carries omega-3s and vitamin D.

How to eat it

  • No carbs in the plain fillet
  • Pan-fry skin-side down in butter for crisp skin
  • Bake whole with herbs and lemon slices
  • Smoked trout is great flaked over eggs or salad

Add a fatty sauce like herb butter or a creamy dill dressing to round out the macros.
