Low Carb Fish Stew

5 ratings

Are you a fan of hearty, comforting meals that take less than 30 minutes? Well, who isn’t! This low-carb fish stew might become your new go-to dinner option. It is healthy, rich, warm, and explodes with flavor. This meal is also ideal for pescatarians and those following a paleo diet. Please do yourself a favor and try it tonight.

What ingredients do you need to make this Keto fish stew?

To prepare the fish stew, you will need a firm white fish fillet that doesn’t lose shape when cooked. Some options include tilapia, cod, sea bass, and snapper. You can also add other seafood meats such as shrimp, calamari, crab meat, or mussels. This low-carb fish stew is prepared using many aromatic ingredients, including onions, peppers, garlic, paprika, cumin powder, and lemon juice. The coconut milk adds creaminess and brings out a fantastic flavor in the stew, but it can be replaced with heavy cream if you are not worried about dairy.

What’s the best way to enjoy this Keto seafood dish?

This stew is delicious on its own, but you can still get creative with how you serve it. You can add it on top of cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles. You can also make fish tacos by filling some low-carb tortillas with a reduced version of this stew. However you choose to serve this dish, it will still taste magnificent.

Is this low-carb stew suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! This stew is ideal for Keto meal prep. Making a larger batch is just as quick and easy. Simply cook your stew and allow it to cool completely before dividing it into individual containers. This meal will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just microwave it for a couple of minutes before eating.

          Soft fish, talapia, sole, will cook the fastest. Thicker fleshed fish will also work, allow for slightly longer cooking time according to size fish is cut. A medley of fish types will also be enjoyable. Enjoy.

          This was very tasty and quick to make. I used sea bass and salmon because it’s what I had. I will try again with cod next time
