It’s time to take Vitamin Sea to the next level. If you didn’t know this already, let us just say that the combination of wine and seafood is heavenly.
In addition to the fact that the sight itself can make your mouth water, combining these two delicacies brings numerous health benefits.
This short yet informative guide will discuss the ground rules of pairing wine with different seafood.
Seafood Platters and Dry White Wines
Also known by its fancy name, Plateau de Fruits de Mer, seafood platters are a delicious and impressive entertainment and treat for special guests. The choices on these platters vary, but usually, you’ll see oysters, crabs, mussels, etc.
Hosts and restaurants like to mix it up when it comes to this dish, but one thing is certain – this particular dish is high in Omega-3 content, which is beneficial to your heart health.
What’s the best wine to pair with this special-occasion-inspired food?
Well, experts would say that dry white wines are the perfect addition to your oysters. You can go the safe way and pour a glass of champagne or spice it up with Chardonnay.
Cooked Seafood and Rose
Probably the most sought-after cooked seafood is lobster. No doubt! It offers a one-of-a-kind taste, it’s healthy, and it’s considered a luxury meal. However, people often struggle to complete this food choice with the right drink.
The obvious answer is wine. But what wine goes with lobster?
Since lobster already has a stronger taste, you want to stay moderate. Although people usually go with white wine, we’ll skip that choice because it already has its pair and offers an unusual one – Rose. It’s sweet, fruity, and just right for this kind of meal.
Tuna and Red Wine
There wouldn’t be a guide without a classic red. If you’re in the mood for red wine, pair it with some tuna, or salmon for a complete, delicious meal.
Whichever brand you choose, it’ll help soothe the fishy taste and tone down the strong flavour of tuna. It’s a simple dinner idea, yet, it’s classy.
Vitamin Sea and Wines
Seafood and wine are marvelous dinners, dates, or party ideas. Fish is a type of dish that can be prepared in more than one way; it’s nutritious and goes perfectly with the right brand of wine, tuna and red wines, oysters and dry white wines, or lobsters and rose – all excellent choices.
