Delicious Keto battered fish is coated with coconut flour, baking powder, egg, and almond milk. Each strip of white fish is covered with coconut flour and then dipped into the low carb batter. The fish are fried in healthy fat (like avocado oil) that can handle a higher temperature. The result? Golden, brown, and delicious fried fish.
Why does the batter keep getting thicker?
Coconut flour hydrates very well. The batter will need to be used immediately to avoid this. If it begins to thicken, add 2 tablespoons of almond milk to it to thin it out. You can also use almond flour (replace 1 cup almond flour for ⅓ cup of coconut flour) to avoid that situation altogether.
What is the best way to handle the battered fish once cooked?
The batter is very delicate due to its low carb nature. Gently place them in the frying oil and then carefully turn them with a spatula. Also, use a spatula to transfer them to the serving platter.
How do I reheat the fish?
The best way to reheat the fish is to saute them or bake them in the oven.
Why is the avocado for frying the fish not included in the ingredient list?
The oil pick up in the pan is minimal, but if the avocado oil were included in the recipe list, the macros for the recipe would be incorrect since you do not consume the frying oil.

Recipe Steps
steps 4
35 min
Step 1
Combine the coconut flour, egg, baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and almond milk in a medium bowl. Whisk to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Slice the fish in half lengthwise and then cut each piece in half. Cut each half into smaller strips about ½” thick. Place 3 tablespoons of coconut flour and ½ tsp kosher salt on a plate and place the fish strips into the coconut flour mixture. Move them around to dust the outside of each strip with the flour.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add enough avocado oil until there is ½” of oil in the pan. Allow it to heat for 30 more seconds. Dredge the fish strips in the batter and place the strips into the pan. Place the strips 1 ½” apart and allow them to fry for 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4
Gently transfer the battered strips to a paper towel-lined plate using a spatula. Serve immediately!
