Wine and gerookte makreel pairings

Many people think that the mackerel they buy at the fishmonger is smoked, but it is usually steamed. For the wine-food combination not a big difference. You actually have two choices: crisp fresh white or a dry oxidized white wine.

If you go for a crisp white, we recommend a bone-dry Riesling. But a dry Fino Sherry is just as good to combine with smoked mackerel. This choice also applies to most smoked fish.
