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!

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!!
