Skip the breading. Breading adds calories, fat, and sodium to your fish. If you're not going to fry the fish, you can also skip the breading altogether.

Choose healthy sides. Instead of fries, opt for healthier sides like coleslaw, steamed vegetables, or salad.

Go easy on the tartar sauce. Tartar sauce is high in calories, fat, and sodium. Use it sparingly or skip it altogether.

Drink water or unsweetened tea instead of soda or juice. Soda and juice are high in calories and sugar. Water or unsweetened tea is a healthier choice.
