1/3 c Tequila, 1/2 c Triple sec, 3/4 c Lime juice, 1 ts Salt, 2 1/2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tb oil, 3 diced tomatoes, medium, 1 chopped Onion, 1 tb minced jalapenos, 2 tb chopped cilantro, pinch Sugar and Pepper. Put fish in pan. 
Combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, salt, garlic, and 2 t oil and rub all over fish. Cover and marinate for 1/2 hour at room temperature or up to 3 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. Heat the grill to VERY hot. Remove fish from marinade, pat dry (reserving marinade) and brush lightly with 1 t oil and grind pepper over the surface. Cook on a greased grill 4 minutes per side, or until flesh is opaque. Boil remaining marinade in saucepan for 2 minutes, remove and discard garlic cloves, and spoon a little over the fish. Just before serving, combine tomatoes, onions, chilies, cilantro, sugar and salt to taste. Spoon on side and serve.
