Seafood
11 dishes with wine suggestions.
Crab
Sweet crab meat is gentle, saline, and often served with butter or spice.
Halibut
Lean white fish is delicate, so sauce and cooking method define the match.
Lobster
Sweet lobster is delicate but often served with butter, making richness central.
Mussels
Steamed mussels are briny, savory, and usually carried by broth or wine.
Oysters
Raw oysters are all brine, texture, and clean mineral finish.
Salmon
Rich oily fish can pair with substantial whites, rose, and some light reds.
Sashimi
Raw sliced fish is even more delicate than sushi because there is no rice buffer.
Scallops
Sweet, tender scallops need wines that handle browning without losing delicacy.
Sea Bass
Delicate sea bass favors freshness, salinity, and restrained aromatic lift.
Shrimp
Sweet shellfish is light but gains range from garlic, spice, or frying.
Tuna
Meaty tuna can be raw and delicate or seared and almost steak-like.
