I like to pair the classics, Cheese Grits, Cole Slaw, and Hushpuppies with blackened, grilled, or fried fish. Other side dishes that would complement the fish include Southern Potato Salad, Southern Baked Mac and Cheese, Southern Deviled Eggs, Grilled Vegetable Kabobs, Summer Pasta Salad, Southern Broccoli Salad, or Homemade French Fries.
