Notes

Each serving contains 3 net carbs and serves 6.

If you end up with too much water in your fish and it is not holding its shape, add a little bit more coconut flour.
If it is too dry, sprinkle just a little water on it. You want it to be just moist enough, not too wet or too dry.
Make sure the oil is not too hot and you don’t use too much oil or the fish might break apart.
Be careful when trying to flip the keto fish cakes when making it. Use a flat spatula and flip gently.
Let the fish cakes cool down for a few minutes before eating, so it can solidify and reduce the risk of breakage.
