I HATE FISH... but I tried this and it was okay so I actually ate it. Hubby really like this. We will make again. Thanks for new recipe!

This sauce was very flavorful and added a nice smoky hot flavor to the fish. I doubled the sauce recipe, and used half to rub over the fish before grilling, and the other half to serve at the table as a sauce over the fish. I used tilapia.

Exceptional!This fish has tremendous flavor! I used plain, unflavored yogurt in place of the mayo, because I do not eat mayo at all. Other than that, I made it as written.So, so good! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe! Made for Zaar world Tour.

This was EXCELLENT! The aroma while it was on the grill had everyone anticipating dinner. We used it on red snapper and a couple chicken breasts for the non-fish eaters. (Was very good that way too) Served with fresh wedges of lime. Next time I might up the chipotle by one.
