There’s nothing like settling in for a delicious meal at a seafood restaurant. When you pop into Tin Top Restaurant & Oyster Bar for your fix, you can count on fresh food—and delicious drinks to go along with your plate. But what exactly should you drink with seafood? At this beloved Bon Secour, AL, establishment, it’s all about creativity. Here are some tips for selecting the perfect drink.

Tips on Drink Pairings at a Seafood Restaurant

1. Oysters

Oysters can be subtle in their flavor profile or ever so slightly bold. No matter the case, you don’t want to overwhelm your palate with a strong drink that steals the spotlight from your food. Opt for a white wine, for instance. If you’re eating something from the oyster bar coated in mouth-watering seasonings, you may prefer a stout. If your oysters are baked and unseasoned, a simple pale ale is the perfect choice.

2. Salmon

If you’re enjoying a plate of salmon for dinner, focus on the rich flavor of the fish. It’s an oily, healthy meal that that is nicely complemented by a glass of red. If you’re more of a beer drinker, try a malty brown ale. It balances the flavor of the fish well without competing for attention.

3. Shrimp

There’s no doubt that if you’re enjoying a plate full of steamed or blackened shrimp, you may be tempted to reach for an ice-cold brew. That’s a great choice, but you can also liven up the experience with a sparkling wine. A glass of Chardonnay also makes a phenomenal partner.

4. Crab

Sweet crab is a treat unto itself, but the right beverage can make all the difference. The goal is to select something that won’t overpower the meat’s flavor. Bear in mind that the crab’s sweetness should steal the spotlight. A light Chardonnay or a Sauvignon Blanc works well.
