From potato salad to mac and cheese, we’ve got something for everyone. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your menu today!

 

Firstly Choose a Fish

What’s your favorite kind, and why do you like it so much? There are many options available when deciding on what type of fisheating food will be served at this event – from light-bodied whitefishes such as tilapias or catfishs, to the more full-flavored salmon or tuna.

Sides Dishes Perfectly Pairing Fish Fry

Once you’ve decided on your fish, it’s time to think about what sides will pair well with it. For a lighter fish like tilapia, we recommend something bright and acidic like a simple tomato salad. For heartier fare like salmon or trout, we suggest roasted potatoes or corn on the cob. And of course, no fish fry is complete without some tartar sauce and lemon wedges!

What are your favorite sides? This should be a difficult task because you want to make sure your fish is fresh. The next thing you need to do is choose what sides go well with your fish fry.Here are some of our favorite side dishes to serve with fish fry:

  • Roasted potatoes or french fries
  • Coleslaw
  • Baked beans
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Fruit salad
  • Corn on the cob

Roasted Potatoes or French Fries 

These are roasted potatoes or french fries in foil packets. Then, they can be placed on the grill for a few minutes to get crispy. Be sure to have plenty of tartar sauce and lemon wedges on hand – they’re essential for a perfect fish fry! And don’t forget the drinks – an ice cold beer is always a good choice to wash down all that delicious food. Cheers!

Coleslaw 

Coleslaw is a good food to have with fish fries for a few reasons. One, it is cool and crunchy, which contrasts well with the hot, fried fish. Two, it is mayonnaise-based, so it has a creamy texture that complements the flaky fish nicely. And three, vinegar in coleslaw help to cut the richness of the fish and the fried batter. Coleslaw is also a good source of fiber and vitamins A and C.

Baked Beans 

Baked beans are a classic side dish to serve with fish fry. They are hearty and filling, but not too heavy, so they won’t weigh down the meal. Baked beans also have a bit of sweetness from the molasses or brown sugar that is usually added to them. This sweetness pairs well with the salty fish and fried batter.

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is another good option for a side dish. It is creamy and rich, which contrasts well with the flaky fish. The pasta in macaroni and cheese also helps to soak up any extra grease from the fried fish. And, let’s be honest, everything is better with cheese!

Fruit Salad

Fruit salad is a good choice for a lighter side dish. The sweetness of the fruit pairs well with the fried fish, and the freshness of the fruit helps to cut through the richness of the meal.

Corn on the Cob

Corn on the cob is another good option for a side dish. It is a classic summer food that goes well with just about anything, including fish fry! The sweetness of the corn pairs well with the fried fish, and the cob helps to soak up any extra grease from the meal.
