- Paper serving baskets, much like the ones you would get at a fast food restaurant, add to the atmosphere of a casual fish fry. Cover the table in a red and white checked tablecloth and use paper napkins and plastic forks and knives. Make things a bit more fancy by using a vibrantly colored, striped tablecloth, cloth napkins and woven baskets plate holders.
- Turn old fishing accessories into playful centerpieces. Fill an empty fishing basket with fresh herbs and flowers or fill a small fishing net with dried leaves and flower blooms. You can also arrange clean, empty seashells and driftwood in the center of each table.
- As the sun goes down, use antique looking fishermen's lanterns to light the party area. Place a lantern or two on each table or string several on a cord and hang them between two trees or posts.
