What can I serve as side dishes for a fish barbecue ? I am looking to serve some carbs on the side, in the form of rice or potatoes or whatever ... bring me some ideas please

Answer 1

Pasta salad (tri color pasta, olive oil and a splash of vinegar, chopped red and green peepers, sliced olives, garlic, salt& pepper, fresh oregeno, slice cherry tomatos in half).

Red potato salad (boil red potatos add fresh parsley, vinigar, salt peper, onions and peper, and light on the mayo) It has a lot less may than regular potato salad and with the vinigar it just tast better with fish.

Zucini with chopped stewed tomatos and onins with fresh oregeno.

Answer 3

For carbs, honest, with a fish BBQ there's not much better, or easier, than garlic bread. Cut it into chunks, add the butter and garlic, then throw it in the oven or under the broiler. You could even put it on the grill, but it's messy and requires constant watching. Corn on the cob is wonderful this time of year. For a salad, I love to serve tabbouleh with fish. The dressing has lemon in it, so it's a great complement. And it is made in advance so no last minute fussing. I've got a great Asian salad recipe that goes very well with fish. If you'd like the 2 salad recipes, add that to your question and I'll write them out for you.

Answer 7

How about a lemon orzo pasta salad? It's cool, you have your carbs, the lemon will go great with the fish, and there's no mayo in it! And it's really simple.

Email me if you want it, it's in some file I have on this PC but I have to get some other stuff done right now. :)

Answer 8

Basmati rice. Once it's cooked, add a little lemon zest (finely grated lemon peel) to give it some tang.

Tomato, Cucumber & Feta cheese salad. Cut the tomato and cuc. into bite size pieces. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Top with feta cheese crumbles.

Answer 9

The only place I've ever eaten BBQ fish was in Honduras. They served it with fried plantains and spanish rice ( with tomato sauce, corn, onions and bell pepper)

Answer 10

Looks like you have already gotten lots of good suggestions. I also LOVE zucchini and squash with fish. You can grill them, cut into big chunks on skewers (maybe add some pineapple chunks too), or do a quick stir fry with onions and some carrots add whatever spices you like to suit your taste. Best of luck :)
