I found this recipe and can't wait to try it. From the West Hawaii Today newspaper. Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby, authors of "Big Flavors of the Hot Sun", suggest serving the fish with coconut rice.

3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and crushed
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/2 cup pineapple juice

While second side is cooking, coat the exposed side lightly with honey and sprinkle with crushed mac nuts.
Flip again; cook another minute or until crust is golden brown.
Check for doneness by cutting into a piece; it should be completely opaque all the way through.
Remove fish from grill, cut each in half, and serve.
