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.

There was a discussion on Facebook about the Luby's tartar sauce and how incredible it was. I was lacking one ingredient, and never could find the "real" recipe, so I opted for this one. I'm so glad I did. It's really excellent. This is going to be my tartar sauce recipe for life!!!

I made it exactly as it was written and it was great, especially with my homemade mayonnaise. I'm thinking some horseradish might be good in it as well, but it's certainly fine the way it is.
