Margarit It works well as a rather cheap main course. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian diet. If you have vegetable oil, garlic clove, lime juice, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the tequila you could follow this main course with the Tequila-Lime Sugar Cookies as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Fish can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
