Wine Pairing
Fish Cakes
Fish Cakes are chopped fish mixed with potato, egg, flour, onions, spices and herbs.
To complement the strong Fish Cake flavours and also match Spices and Herbs, you will need a full bodied, crisp white wine with good fruit and acidity.
Riesling has the right acidity, and a little residual sugar for the spices.
Fish Cakes also love a good bodied Rosé and Bubbles.
