What would go with fish pie?

[PinkAmaryliss]

Random title but I need some ideas! Christmas Eve I was thinking a fancy fish pie (that I can make ahead). But I’d like some nice ‘bits’ to go with it rather than one enormous portion of fish pie and nothing else. Plus one guest is veggie but she’ll be happy to have the ‘bits’ as long as they are good ones.
A baked Camembert?
That’s as far as I’ve got!

Or scrap the fish pie and just have a range of ‘special bits’ (that sounds awful)?

Struggling with this one - I adore fish pie but usually just have it with peas and nothing else. It’s one of the things I really don’t do sides for. Veggie alternative maybe cauliflower cheese?

Peas with pie. Nothing else needed.

have a starter of baked Camembert, a cauliflower cheese for the veggie’s main course, and a festive (light) pudding.

I think I may do the same menu, thanks!

Ugh not Camembert.

I would:

Keep some of the white sauce back and add a little mustard and some cheese, make a small cauliflower cheese for the vegetarian with a lovey bubbly grilled cheese and breadcrumb topping

Steamed broccoli/asparagus
Peas
Corn on the cob
Oodles of tartare sauce
crunchy French stick
crispy mini jacket potatoes with lots of salt and black pepper on the skins

I also like a Christmas Eve fish pie! As it’s rich I go for broccoli, spinach, peas, I think asparagus would also go. Maybe two different ones. Something green and quite simple anyway!

Could you make individual ones with cauliflower cheese or mixed vegetable cheeses for the vegetarians? Then a couple of green vegetables and some roasted peppers and a salad to go with?

I like broccoli and carrots with fish pie because they're colourful.

Ooh, just crossed with Curlew Kate, whose idea's even more colourful!

Love this!! Little mini fish pies! Great idea - thanks!

Not all Camembert or cheese is vegetarian due to the rennet, so you'd need to check that.

I agree with another poster, that I'd add more veg as a side to have with the fish pie like broccoli, cauli, asparagus etc. Other ideas- raclette. People can then choose which cheese, meats, potatoes, sides etc they want.
