While the main dish is important in any meal, an entree is only as good as its sides. When you’re eating fish, especially one that you just caught fresh out of the ice earlier in the day, you want to be sure that the sides you make with it will complement its taste. Try one or both of these sides the next time you’re frying or grilling your catch!

DIRECTIONS
- In a shallow bowl combine flour, egg, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Gradually add beer, stirring, until a thick batter forms. Add more or less beer depending on the desired consistency of the batter.
