Is the 2nd pot really necessary?

Yes depending on your meal planning.  Sometimes I plan a more robust meal that needs separate cooking pots.
Being able to boil a 2nd pot while you eat out of the first is real handy.  Like a hot beverage after dinner?  Would you rather wash the pot while you eat or just have the hot water ready when dinner's done?  For the ounces it's a nice option to kick back and relax after dinner before doing the dishes.

Do we really need a frying pan?

Most any camping pot worth its salt has a lid that is a frying pan.  It's a minor design consideration that allows Vince From Slapchop to say, "But wait there's more!  The lid is also a frying pan!  This amazing egg cooker will do eggs any style!  You want fried, it does fried.  You want scrambled, it will do that too.  Over-easy is as simple as a turn of the wrist!"

Could we simply cook the fish on the fire or use a pot.

Yes you could.  However, the sides of the pot will get burned.  Splatter will hit the sides and scorch your pot.

Aversion to teflon could be health and cost related.  Over time it flakes off & you don't really want to eat that.  Then you have to buy new pots even though the only thing wrong with the pot is that the $10 extra coating is old.  If you want pots to last a lifetime, go bare.

I really like the picture wire idea.  Might even drill holes in a pot to try it.
