    What can I use to substitute white wine vinegar and white wine.

    • Raymund says:

      For white wine vinegar you can use cider vinegar but for the white wine I am afraid you cant replace that and get the same flavour, you can try using chicken stock instead.

    They gave the sauce by the side though – did not pour it all over the fish. I did try a but too and yes, it was good.
