I have to admit, I was a tad bit hestitant to try this one. I've never had swordfish. Also never had fruit (other than lemon) with fish. Boy am I glad I tried it. THIS WAS FANTASTIC! A perfect pairing that we devoured! I will certainly make this again. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT5 Groovy GastroGnomes.
