Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add canned tomatoes (with liquid), breaking them apart with a spoon.
Step 3
Add carrot rounds, season with salt and pepper, then nestle fish fillets skin-side up into the sauce. Simmer uncovered for 12 minutes until fish flakes easily.
Step 4
While fish cooks, bake frozen fries according to package directions until golden and crispy.
Step 5
Arrange fresh tomato slices and cucumber slices on a platter. Spoon thiou stew (fish, sauce, and cooked carrots) over the top.
Step 6
Serve fries alongside the stew. Squeeze lemon juice over everything if you have it.
