Barbecue Sauces come in many flavors, styles and types. Most everyone is familiar with the thick, sweet sauces that can be bought ready to use. However there are so many more delicious types of BBQ sauce that are easy to make and can go with many other foods other than just ribs. Here I have suggested a few of the most versatile and popular BBQ sauces to ensure your BBQ is a success.

Grilled Fish BBQ Sauce/marinade.
This is a great sauce to use with any type of fish you wish to barbecue such as salmon or swordfish.
Ingredients:
4 tbsp. soy sauce

2 tbsp. brown sugar
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or dried crushed chili

Stir all marinade/sauce ingredients together until sugar dissolves.
Place fish fillets in a flat-bottomed bowl and pour half the sauce over. Turn the fillets in the sauce. (Reserve the rest of the sauce for later.)
Allow fish to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours in advance (just cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use). Cook on the BBQ and warm up the remaining sauce to use as a dip.
