Even if you are told that fried foods are okay when on a carbohydrate restriction diet, if you are on a strict carbohydrate restriction, you will also be concerned about the carbohydrate content of the batter and the type of oil used for frying.
In that case, use low-carb bread mix or bread crumbs for the batter and fry in your favorite fat. You can eat fried foods without having to worry about the carbohydrate content of the batter.

This recipe is for people who want to eat raw bonito to get the Omega 3 rich nutrients, but don't like it raw. The inside is semi-raw, so the high temperature won't cause the Omega 3 to oxidize too much.
Of course, you can make tonkatsu by replacing the bonito with pork, or make salmon fries by replacing the bonito with salmon, and so on.
