Fresh fish for dinner...but what to have with it??

We have fresh fish for dinner courtesy of my Father-in-law. We would normally have like a lettuce salad and chips with it for dinner but it dosn't really feel like salad weather today. Any suggestions as to what would be nice in the way of veges with it. We normally just flour the fish and fry it in a bit of butter. Thanks!

You might not have the ingredients to hand but you could buy hot chips from the f&c shop, then make coleslaw and pan fry your fish. Fish is amazing fresh, isn't it? I use maize cornflour and add garlic salt to it and dunk the fish in egg first and then the cornlour/garlic salt mixture which I put into a bag to save on mess. Then I panfry in butter. Even the kids think it's fabulous. You could do mashed spud, steamed veggies with cheese sauce to serve with the fish.

Scalloped potato & brocolli with a squeeze of lemon juice, butter and freshly ground pepper (on the brocolli while waiting for it to drain).

Yum - thanks guys! Yeah we love fresh fish and it's even better when Mr 2 years old loves it too - easy dinner time!

Wow fisher thanks for that - some great ideas - love mushrooms and those wedges all sound good - got some sour cream in the fridge too - yum

hi bidz

the way you do you fish, does it igve it a bit of a batter like coating rather than just coating in the flour and pan frying?

Pea puree. Lightly cook some peas, pop into food processor with a little of the cooking liquid and a knob of butter, add a dollop of creme fraiche, or I have used sour cream, season blitz until pureed. Yum!
