  1. I made this last night and instead of a pale ale I used a white beer and it turned out great ! I added some fresh garlics when i was cooking the onions as well and didnt use garlic salt at all. The sauce thickened up well and had a great taste to it
     
  2. Overall the dish came together quickly, the spices on the fish were tasty and the texture of the sauce was nice but next time I will add the lemon little by little...the dish became too overpowered by the lemon making it a little sour and hard to taste the flavor from the ale and spices. Very interesting way to serve fish...I will try to make this again! Thanks!
     
  3. Wow! This recipe was great. I tried it on my family tonight and everyone enjoyed it. I thought the seasonings were great and the onions with the beer and lemon was a great complement to the fish! My first review! This is a definite "make again".
     
  4. I made a mistake and used red onions with this recipe because it's all that I had on hand. The fish was just fantastic but the taste of the red onions in this doesn't do the recipe justice, and I just know it would be a million times better with the sweet yellow onions that this recipe calls for. I'm giving this five stars and I have every intention to try it again as soon as I pick up some yellow onions. Not only is this easy, it's mighty tasty but please stick to the yellow onions like the recipe says!!
