1. 🐟 Light, Flaky Fish
For delicate fish-like cod or snapper, go for something light and fresh! Sauvignon Blanc offers a zesty citrus flavour, while Pinot Grigio gives you a smooth, fruity finish.
2. 🐠 Rich, Oily Fish
Salmon or tuna needs a wine that can handle their bold flavours. Chardonnay is perfect with its creamy richness. Or, try Rosé for a fun, fruity twist!
3. 🦞 Shellfish
Crab, lobster, or shrimp? You can’t go wrong with Chardonnay for a buttery touch. For something zestier, Albariño brings a fresh, lively vibe. And don’t forget, Champagne adds sparkle to any seafood meal!
4. 🔥 Grilled or Smoked Fish
Grilling fish? Pinot Noir’s light and earthy notes complement smoky flavours beautifully. For a bolder choice, Syrah or Shiraz adds a spicy, rich flavour to enhance grilled fish.
5. 🌶️ Spicy Seafood
Spicy shrimp or fish tacos call for a wine that cools things down! Moscato’s sweetness balances the heat perfectly, while Prosecco adds a refreshing, bubbly touch to fiery dishes.
