To sum up: the fries should be arranged for height in the center of the plate, with the lemon wedges on the flat outer plane of it ~11 or 2 o’clock (the sauces taking the other position, regardless) and the slaw could be nestled between them and the bottom edge of the fries. This way, not only do the side (slaw), garnish (lemons), and sauces not crowd the plate or the guest’s access to the meal, but the fish can be proudly presented as the real gem of the dish.
