French fries with fish? Unless you're in England thats blasphemy. For Crappie fillets the proper side is home fries. I usually do my fish fried, but once in a while I like something a little lighter so I will throw some fillets in a foil pack with a bunch of butter, some diced green peppers, onions, and jalapenos, bit of salt and pepper, and maybe even a couple shakes of Parmesan or hot sauce. Throw em in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes or so and they're good to go.
