It depends on how the fish was prepared.
With steamed or poached fish, cream sauces or buttery sauces are ideal, for example, a classic dill cream sauce. Beurre Blance goes well with steamed plaice rolls and pan-fried fish.
Fresh, acidic sauces such as a light herb sauce, or tomato-based sauces, such as a tomato and caper sauce, go well with grilled or fried fish. A mustard sauce also goes well with fried fish, such as in our char fillet recipe in mustard sauce.

Is there glutamate in fish sauce?
Asian foods contain even more natural glutamates, especially soy sauce and fish sauce. These sources of glutamate are classified as flavorings or foods, not as food additives, and are not assigned an E number (see Food Law).
Where’s all the glutamate in?
Natural glutamate is mainly found in protein-rich foods such as cheese and meat, but also in tomatoes, soy, and soy sauce. Most of the naturally occurring glutamate is bound to protein. Only some types of vegetables have a higher proportion of free glutamate.
Why Glutamate in Asian Food?
Glutamate is mainly used in Asian cuisine as a flavor enhancer. “Especially from soups, glutamate is absorbed by the body very quickly and can cause problems,” explains Dr. Wesiack.
What exactly is glutamate?
When people talk about glutamate, they usually mean monosodium glutamate, a salt of glutamic acid. This in turn is an amino acid that plays an important role in human metabolism. In its free form, it is also a natural component in almost all foods.
