Tartar Sauce That Makes You Scream... Oh Yes!

NcMysteryShopper's Note:

Your fish is begging for this wonderfully creamy and tasty tartar sauce. Perfect with my fool-proof crispy Beer Battered Cod recipe(#138647). A sure hit... you can omit the capers...although that would be a crying shame. Enjoy!

I didn't think I'd like such a tangy tartar (not my usual choice), but after it sat a while, it just got better & better. I served it with Crispy Tilapia (#47391) as suggested by someone else & it made that recipe even more outstanding. And yes, the capers really make it. BTW, I finally figured out how to "chop" those little suckers that kept rolling off or flying off my cutting board. I put them in a ZipLock bag & took the smooth side of my meat mallet & smashed them up. It worked great. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

Oh Yes!! This is amazing sauce. I wanted to eat it by the spoonful - not a healthy choice even though I did use light mayo. It isn't just for fish either. I had used the last of the mayo to make this up, so I was putting this on my turkey sandwich for lunch the next day - excellent. Thanks for sharing.

I was making fried fish for dinner tonight, and when I went to the fridge to look for tartar sauce, it was all gone! I checked a few recipes to try and make one from scratch, and yours looked really good so I chose it. I had all the ingredients on hand, it took only a few minutes to make, and I put it in refrigerator for the flavors to meld as I started to prepare dinner.... Well, your recipe made the best tartar sauce I have ever had. It was so smooth, creamy and fresh-tasting. SO much better than the stuff in a jar -- I'll never buy store-made tartar sauce again. Yours is the one I'll be serving from now on!
