Plaice, a delicacy from the North Sea, is known for its tender and juicy meat and mild flavour. This flat sea creature is ideal for various types of preparation, from simple roasting to grilling and roasting. Its versatility makes it a favourite dish in many cuisines.
The delicate texture and subtle flavour of the plaice harmonise perfectly with South African white wines. These wines, known for their fruity flavours and refreshing acidity, provide an ideal accompaniment to this seafood delight. A cool Chenin Blanc or a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa complement the delicate plaice with their fresh notes and emphasise its natural flavours.
Whether you want to enjoy the plaice fried with a light lemon butter, grilled with Mediterranean herbs or roasted with a crispy breading, the South African white wines are ready to complete the culinary experience. We can certainly imagine a light Pinot Noir with the "Finkenwerder style" plaice with bacon cubes.
