Pairing Red Wine with Seafood or Fish Tips

The idea that you can only serve white wine with seafood or fish is outdated. Step out of the box and choose a red wine. Here are our wine-pairing tips.

Balancing flavors is the most important aspect of pairing wine with food. Consider the wine's aromas and flavors and balance them with the seafood or fish. 

How you prepare your fish is just as important as the fish itself. Grilling a lighter fish will add a smokey flavor that goes perfectly with red wine. Try a Rose or lighter red wine.

More complex seafood dishes with tomato sauce require a fruit-forward wine like Syrah. 

How the seafood is prepared and seasoned matters. A Cajon spicy shrimp or blackened catfish needs a full-bodied red wine like a Petite Sirah.
