Being in the south, my grill gets a workout. Instead of boring burgers and hot dogs I like to change it up from time to time. Grilled fish is super easy, done in no time flat and oh so delicious. This recipe for Grilled Swordfish & Pineapple Kabobs is a great change of pace that your whole family will love.
Ever since I made the Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs a few weeks ago, my husband has been requesting kabobs. Now, don’t get me wrong…that bacon wrapped chicken is to die for – but, I wanted to lighten it up a bit. I had originally intended to do salmon kabobs but when I went to the store the fillets were all too thin. To do fish as a kabob you need a nice thick fish to skewer. You also need a firm fish so that it does not flake off as it cooks. Swordfish was on sale so that’s what I went with.
It was a huge success. I think I might actually like it better than my salmon kabobs. Both use the same marinade so grab your favorite fish and fire up that grill!
