Serves: I make about 4 filets
Source: Cooks.com

½ C. balsamic vinegar
¾ C. olive oil
Few drops of hot pepper sauce
¼ C minced fresh basil (1/8 C dried)

I think this is best with a white fish such as Mahi Mahi, Talopia, Wali, or Northern. Whisk together the vinegar, oil and hot sauce. Stir in the basil and pepper. Pour over fish and marinate about 45 minutes. Turning once before grilling.
