A
great choice for fuller flavored fish, but my personal favorite
for this marinade is Shrimp on the Barbie! |

The

toasted sesame seeds give it a unique flavor. |

very own Teriyaki style blend. This goes great with everything |

- |
Spicy
and very flavorful. If you like Thai food you will love this
marinade. Goes great with most fish (chicken too). |
