    I was a little overwhelmed by all the spices I needed for this dish. But once I got past that, it was easy. It turned out great and my dinner date loved it.

    This was a really good dish! Just enough heat to make it interesting.

    I made this fish on a whim, trying to find something new to make. It was so fast and easy, thanks to some left over sides in the fridge. But the best part was how good it was. The kids loved it, even my husband who wanted to fry the fish conceded that grilled fish can be good ;)

    Wow that looks so good I have got to try it (yummy).

    Mine didn't look nearly as beautiful as the picture above, but this recipe is Delish!! I actually had it for breakfast this morning with left over quinoa in place of the rice. Such a great flavor with the mixture of seasonings. I will be eating this as much as possible since chicken gets way too boring too fast for me, lol.

    Not sure that I made it correctly. I mixed up the spices and then put the lime juice in with the spices. I think that was a mistake, since the spices didn't taste like much when put on the fish. Will try it again some other time. It did sound good. By putting the lime juice in with the spices, the spices ended up clumping. I assume that it was a mistake. Plus, the lime juice probably neutralized some of the spice taste.

    i've made jerk with several recipes, including this one. I don't think it is for me I didn't like it.

    Loved the fact that we made our own Jerk Seasoning instead of from a bottle which has so many other unnecessary ingredients. Used Red Snapper instead of Tilapia and it was very good. Great flavor. I agree, mine didn't look like the photo above . My husband loves to try new receipes with fish so I'm looking forward to trying the Tilapia Feature receipe next....maybe tomorrow :).

    Can't wait to try it today!

    This recipe is flat-out amazing! I have never attempted to make jerk spices before, but this will be a go-to recipe from now on. My husband doesn't eat fish, so I cooked mine with fish and his with a chicken breast. The results for both meats were superb. Thank you for the great recipe!
