A DELICIOUS FINISH
What should you serve with it?
Wine or beer
Muscadet sur lie or pilsner
Mackerel is rich and strongly flavoured, so the drink needs real freshness. Muscadet’s saline acidity cuts through; a dry pilsner does the same with crisp simplicity.
ALCOHOL-FREE OPTION
Lemon water with cucumber and dill.
A delicious alternative that lets the food take centre stage.
