I don't know where you're from but if you're ever in, or near, Wiscasette Maine:



Delicious battered fresh fish.

Since 1981, the Sea Basket has delighted locals and visitors alike with the finest in Maine seafood. Conveniently located on U.S. Route One in Wiscasset, we're close to wherever you're headed in Midcoast Maine.

The Sea Basket is known for great food and generous portions. We make our own cole slaw and onion rings. Our lobster stew is made with local fresh picked tail, claw, & knuckle meat; we NEVER use FROZEN lobster meat.

Always striving to improve our product, we have installed a brand new "state-of-the-art" frying system. It uses a heating process within the cooking area known as convection. Foods cook with crisper coatings because hot oil is forced between the individual pieces of food, and the outer coating gets seared quickly before the food can absorb as much oil as a standard frying system. This produces a product that is much lower in absorbed oils.

The question is:


What do you PERSONALLY like to drink with fish.


Not what some snobbish people tell you to drink.

snobbish people?

feel inferior much?

Fish swims 3 times. Once in water, once in butter, once in wine. At least according to a chef at the Island of Sylt. Best tasting seafood we ever had. Fresh from the ocean. We even had shrimp fresh from a boat.

Remember its whole that means bones and head and tail almost always. I like eating fish, but I like to de-bone it before I cook it. It just works out better to eliminate the potential minefield before it hits the plate.

I saw.

I often eat grilled fish whole (not boned, with head and tail) My friend, a top restaurateur in NYC serves it like that to his friends. (the general public tends to reject anything not filleted)

I drink white wine with fish. The unoaked chardonnays of Burgundy are best with shellfish, particularly prawns. There is some magic going on with the combination. Crisp dry white wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadet from Loire go very well with fish cooked in butter or cream as the acidity cuts through the creaminess. Guinness and oysters is a famous combination but I never cared for it.

Certainly a light red like Beaujolais works well with meatier fish like tuna. The tannin in heavier reds would clash with an oily fish like mackerel. Coke would only be a suitable accompaniment to a fillet o’ fish.

I must try it once!
