Which Wine with Mackerel?

Meaty fish such as salmon, mackerel, swordfish, monkfish and tuna tend to match with rich white wines. Examples include fuller-bodied whites from Friuli in northern Italy, and richer white Burgundy, including Pouilly-Fuissé and Chassagne-Montrachet. A Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon blend can also work very well.

What drink goes with mackerel?

Happily there are lots of mackerel-friendly wines out there, and you could pick your favourite from Muscadet, Pinot Grigio, Provence rosé, Picpoul de Pinet, Viognier or a nice Cremant (a sparkling wine from France). All of these wines have good acidity, which you definitely need to cut through the oiliness of the fish.
