🐟+🍷 = 🔥 Fish and Wine Pairings That Actually Work Pairing wine with fish isn’t always smooth sailing. Ever had a sip of red that made your sea bass taste like pennies? Yeah, that’s tannins picking a fight with fish oils. So, what does work? It all comes down to texture, flavor, and prep. Here's your cheat sheet: 💡 Lean & Flaky Fish (tilapia, flounder, sole) – Pair with zesty, bone-dry whites – Think: Muscadet, Albariño, Vinho Verde, Chablis 💡 Medium-Textured Fish (trout, halibut, snapper) – Match with aromatic or creamy whites – Try: Pinot Gris, Vermentino, oaked Chenin Blanc 💡 Meaty Fish (swordfish, tuna, salmon) – These can handle fuller whites and some reds – Reach for: Viognier, Marsanne, rosé, or even Pinot Noir 💡 Strongly Flavored Fish (anchovies, sardines, mackerel) – Go bold or go home – Look to: Dry Lambrusco, Gamay, Champagne, Crémant 🎯 Learn more at WineFolly.com #WineTips #WinePairing #SeafoodAndWine #FishDinner
