I recommend making this as fresh as possible, however, you CAN Store the breading mixture separately. 

Once you have the fish, simply start the process with the previously stored breading.

I love serving this fish with a fresh and light salad, however, you can serve the following:

Roasted Potatoes

Creamy Salads

Creamy Dips

French Fries (a classic)

Sweet Potatoes Fries (they taste Heavenly)!!!

Sauteed or Roasted Seasonal Veggies

Fresh Lemon/Lime

Yogurt Dips (they go extremely well)
