Cooking Fried Fish, what are some good side dishes to go along?

Question

Tonight I'll be having a fish fry with some friends. What should I include on the menu besides fried fish. I'm trying to stay away from frying the entire menu. (example: fried fish, fried potatoes, and hushpuppies) Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Mac and cheese and some slaw is classic.

There is a dish called Plaa Rat Prik. It is thai. basically, you serve the fish whole with a sicy salad over it. IT is rediculously good. You could get a recipe easy enough

You have the Jerk already? Toast 3 tablespoons allspice berries, 3 crumbled bay leaves, 1 stick cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons black peppercorns in a dry pan until aromatic. Cool, then grind. Whisk together 1/2 cup malt or cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1 or more Scotch bonnet or 2 jalapeño chiles (seeded and thinly sliced), and 1 bunch thinly sliced scallions. Stir in the spices. Tilapia massage the Jerk in, refidge for as long as you can wait, 3hour min. Myself, I like to fry it in a bit of hot oil 3min. a side untill the spice gets good and brown, stop drooling I'm not done. Got your salsa? OK here we go, Mango's 3, diced up small, schallot's 2 diced up, lemon 1 squeezed and zest for the bowl, you are putting all this in a bowl aren't you? cilantro chopped medium, 1/4tsp allspice,1/4tsp nutmeg, pinch ea.S&P. Someone get me a Tortilla I'm readyto eat. A side of chili beans would go great with this along with the spicy rice, stop me know or I'll get into dessert

Answer 4

baby red potatoes, boiled , drained and then tossed gently with sour cream and butter. Fresh corn is in the stores now,and so delicious.. but that is tricky because many people do not like to eat with their hands. A pan of mac and cheese is always a perfect partner for fried fish. The pan will be clean as a whistle after the meal!

Answer 5

Do you already have the recipe, you're just not sure when to add the salsa/jerk seasoning? I would use the jerk seasoning prior to cooking the fish, that way it will get a nice crust, and the juices will mix well with the spices. Salsa shouldn't be cooked with the fish, you want to keep it fresh. Top the fish with it when plating, or have it available in a dish, so everyone can add as much or as little as they like.

Answer 6

Good Side Dishes

Answer 7

Instant potato flakes make a great puree, reconstitute it with water and oil until you get desired consistency then add turmeric, lemon pepper, and salt to taste!!! beautiful combination with the fish, you can also complete the dish with some roasted garlic green beans.

Answer 8

I like stewed tomatoes and mashed potato with fish that is fried in the pan. If I deep fry it I always have french fries and coleslaw. Yummy either way.

Answer 9

I like to serve millet. You will find it at international markets or health food stores in the US. Cook in a rice cooker and serve. It provides an interesting side dish instead of the usual items and will make a better impression at a special dinner.
