So many to choose...you could have coleslaw, hush puppies or macaroni. I'd also recommend cajun seasoned fries.
i would suggest a nice pint of Guinness nothing goes better with fish than a Guinness
I guess I am traditional because I would have to include cold potato salad.

Everyone has really good ideas and I'd stick with the Coleslaw but with a twist. It's called Cajun Coleslaw, here's the recipe:
Amount Ingredient Preparation
5 tablespoons mayonnaise (heaping)
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons mustard yellow (heaping)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 each lemon juice of
1 x salt to taste
4 each sweet bell peppers sliced
2 each onions medium, shredded
1 large shredded
Directions
Put mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl large enough to hold complete
mixture, but shaped so that the mixture can be beaten with a fork.
Beat mayonnaise and mustard until combined. Add olive oil slowly,
beating all the time. Beat until mixture has returned to the
thickness of original mayonnaise. Add Louisiana hot sauce, continuing
to beat. Add ketchup and keep beating. Add salt and garlic salt,
beating all the time. Add wine vinegar (this will thin the sauce
down). Beat this thoroughly, adding the lemon juice as you do so.
Taste for salt and pepper. Place shredded cabbage, peppers, and onions
in a large salad bowl. pour sauce over and toss well. This should be
done about an hour before serving. Tastes even better the next day.

good answers from everyone, but they all forgot the main one fried or boiled or grilled corn on the cob..
coleslaw, french fries, hushpuppies, fried dill pickles
These are very common and the only way a southern eats their fish.
Down here in southern Louisiana we cook up a pot of navy pea white beans and a pot of rice with our fried fish, and of course some good corn bread. But sometimes it's just french fries and a salad.
cheese grits

I'd say the BEST would be
1. fries
2. coleslaw
3.cream corn
4. mac & cheese
