White wine on the dryer side is the best bet here. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris are all fine choices for most fish. For some darker fish like tuna or salmon, a light pinot noir can also work

For fish, you will rarely go wrong with a white wine. Personally, I like to match the wine color to the meat (white meat like most fish or pork would get a white wine, dark meat like salmon or beef get a darker wine). Be careful not to overpower the flavor of the meat. Chardonnay and Rieslings are good choices for most fish. Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir (a red wine) pair nicely with salmon.

Definitely white wine; it's crispness and airy consistency makes it the perfect companion with seafood. My personal favorite is Vinho Verde, which I recently served with grilled talapia and they mixed beautifully. Check it out at http://www.jmftwinvines.com/about-twin-vines-wine.html

White wine is a good choice with fish. The reason is red wines can cause lean fish to take on a metallic taste. The exception is the red wine, Pinot Noir with fatty fish. Some examples of fatty fish are salmon and tuna. Some white wines to try with fish are Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Aligote, sparkling wines and Champagne.

The "right" wine depends on the goal you want to achieve with the flavors of the items you want to serve. There are two ways to pair wine, you can use contrasting our comparing flavor.

An example of using comparable flavors would be to pair a wood-fire grilled steak with an oaky, full-bodied cabernet.

Or as a contrast, pairing an acidic, sweet wine like riesling goes well with a salty dish like pork tenderloin. This pairing can actually help some salty foods appear less salty.

Cod which is fried in flavoured batter goes extremely well with Italian Whites, such as Pinot Grigio.

Cod which is served grilled and without batter will be better paired with a lightly oaked Chardonnay.

These two apply to mostly all white fish, such as plaice, not just cod.

It's fried fish people. Beer goes best!

he rule of thumb is: Red Wine for Meat, White Wine for Fish.

A crisp dry wine is excellent with seafood. Try vino verde or Sauvignon blanc.
