I respect the diet but fish ain't fish without hush puppies!
Might have to make it a cheat meal.
Fried fish, jalapeño hushpuppies, seasoned fries, and cole slaw.

White beans and vinegar slaw are the "core sides" for me but I'm open to any southern/soul food style side- greens, fresh corn, grilled okra, squash, etc. You could blacken/ pan seat your fish if you wants to deep fry something else
Turnip greens and mustard greens are my go to in the fall when our patches are ready
I didn't eat potato salad the first 50 years of my life. Now I love it. At least some of it. I always get it at certain restaurants. McAllister's potato salad is excellent.
I love it! I hadn't had it in a while and now I pick some up every time we have a fish fry!
My mom has made it for years. I have never had a taste for it, but im out on pretty mucj anything that has eggs

Glad to see vinegar slaw mentioned on here. Sliced onions is a requirement on our supper table.

Mom would batter the fish in cornflake crumbs. Sides were baked beans, mashed potatoes or potato salad, slaw and cornbread. Man she could cook.
We are having catfish and trout tonight. Sides will be white beans, fries and Cole slaw
slaw , hush puppies, fries, sliced onion and maters.
Homemade chips, hush pups, slaw, and fried or roasted yellow squash.
I never got the onion thing. I've seen men at a restaurant order fish and eat an onion like an apple. I love onion cooked into something or diced up on a burger, but a big hunk of raw onion is just too much for me.

We've eaten together and not known it then, because I love me some fresh onions.

You've got to have Cole slaw anytime you're frying fish. For the other side, I like corn on the cob, when it's in season, or cheese grits with crumbled bacon in it.
