Reviews
“This was good but since swordfish is a real special occasion type of food for me, I probably will try a different recipe the next time I have swordfish. I sauteed the onions in a little bit of olive oil to soften them before adding them to the barbeque sauce. I also added a few tablespoons of light brown sugar to the sauce because I like a sweeter more than a tangy barbeque sauce.”
