I believe the answer is:

fino

'dry sherry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nothing goes with a bit of fish like a nice' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'nothing' could be 'no' (similar in meaning) and 'no' is found in the answer.
'bit' could be 'i' (resembles 1, a binary digit or bit) and 'i' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'f' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fino that I've seen before include "Driest of the sherries" , "Type of sherry" , "Bone dry sherry, served chilled" , "Light dry sherry" , "Dry Spanish sherry" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
