Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Sparkling Rose, Viognier

Pinot Grigio, Sparkling rosé, and Viognier are my top picks for Mackerel. Strongly flavored, oily fish like mackerel pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. The Skyfall Pinot Gris with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
