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.\n\n### Why does the batter keep getting thicker?\n\nCoconut 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.\n\n### What is the best way to handle the battered fish once cooked?\n\nThe 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.\n\n### How do I reheat the fish?\n\nThe best way to reheat the fish is to saute them or bake them in the oven.\n\n### Why is the avocado for frying the fish not included in the ingredient list?\n\nThe 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.","prepareTime":20,"cookTime":15,"ingredients":[{"name":"Mild Flavor Swai Fillets by Kroger","servingSize":{"units":"fillet","desc":"2 fillet","qty":2.0,"grams":226.0,"scale":2.0}},{"name":"Coconut Flour","servingSize":{"units":"cup","desc":"⅓ cup","qty":0.333,"grams":37.0,"scale":0.333}},{"name":"Raw Egg","servingSize":{"units":"large","desc":"1 large","qty":1.0,"grams":50.0,"scale":1.0}},{"name":"Baking Powder","servingSize":{"units":"teaspoon","desc":"1 teaspoon","qty":1.0,"grams":5.0,"scale":1.0}},{"name":"Coarse Kosher Salt by Morton","servingSize":{"units":"tsp","desc":"1-½ tsp","qty":1.5,"grams":7.0,"scale":1.5}},{"name":"Almond Milk","servingSize":{"units":"cup","desc":"1 cup","qty":1.0,"grams":240.0,"scale":1.0}},{"name":"Coconut Flour","servingSize":{"units":"tablespoon","desc":"3 tablespoon","qty":3.0,"grams":21.0,"scale":0.188}},{"name":"Coarse Kosher Salt by Morton","servingSize":{"units":"tsp","desc":"½ tsp","qty":0.5,"grams":2.0,"scale":0.5}}],"steps":["Combine the coconut flour, egg, baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and almond milk in a medium bowl.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
