King George Whiting

King George whiting is Australia's finest table fish: delicate, sweet, white-fleshed, and lean, with a clean flavour that is closer to Dover sole than to any robust fish. It is typically pan-fried in butter or grilled simply with lemon, and the preparation is as restrained as the fish itself. The challenge is finding a wine with enough precision to match the delicacy without overwhelming it, and no oak under any circumstances.
