What to serve with fish pie?

[cheesyboy]

Ok, I've made half a dozen fish pies (salmon, smoked haddock, white fish, king prawns, boiled egg, parsley sauce, mash topping), which have gone in the freezer. We ate the first one, and it was great (can't beat fish pie) but, in the time since I last made them, the kids' appetites have grown (age 6, 2.5) and the pies are now not really big enough (1.5 litre dishes, brim filled).

Ordinarily just serve with a pile of veg, but could do with some suggestions of something to bulk the meal out a bit - any ideas?

(I'll get some bigger receptacles for next time)

Thanks Guys, some good options there.

I hadn't thought of garlic bread, which suits as it's so simple (the idea of pre-making all these is that they can just be chucked in the oven with a basic side of veg).

I'm really into diced sweet potato and chickpeas (can also do cubed carrot, swede and other root veg), roasted with a little olive oil and smoked paprika. Can eat it hot or cold.

This ^ sounds like it could make a pretty decent lunch. Might try it.

So do South Africans... and the French... and Norwegians... and the Danes... and the Scots... etc!!

Just googled some fish pie recipes, actually - Almost every one of them seems to favour green veggie type things.

Yeah, I tend to serve with peas, carrots, green beans. Sometimes sweetcorn. There's just not quite enough pie this time

I made a Jamie Oliver one he did in the naked chef. He had baked beans with it and I decided to try it out. Haven't looked back since.

I reckon that might be quite nice.

There's no way I'll be able to sell it to Mrs Cheesyboy, though
