Tartar sauce

[phalanx]

A lady told me it’s only mayonnaise and pickle relish. Is that true?

Mayonnaise, Pickle/juice, onion, lemon juice and what ever other spices one wants or a variation thereof.

Tartar sauce looks like a really bad sinus infection. I'll stick with lemon, and sweet onions.

Make mine Southern fried catfish, red beans, cole slaw, sweet onions, lotsa lemon, buttered Texas toast, and sweet tea.
Like, every Friday.

hard to argue with that. I like tater sause with strong tasting fish like trout, bass ect. but white meat leaner fish like white fish, pike and walleye get nothing but a bit of lemon and salt. Dont know much about catfish. Only catfish we get up here is frozen in the store and probably because of the freezing tends to be mushy.

We are heading into the all-you-can-eat fish fries up here; ther one with sunfish is gone, but I went to a great one with Walleye  year back.
There used to be some with Bullhead Catfish but a lot of fish fries had gone away even before Corona Virus hit.
Flounder, I would love to try that; I had , do not remember what fish, some uncommon on menus, ocean fish at a foo-foo restaurant at the Mall of America  years back, it was fantastic.
Used to eat a lot of Orange Roughy thirty years ago.

No jarred Tartar sauce is ever going to be as good as home-made.

1 of my grandmothers jobs was a cook on a pier. I was young and ordered flounder. It was one of the best fish meals if not the best I ever had. I believe it was alive before she prepared it. Can’t get fresher than that. I use to sit on a bank with a small fire and rocks to support my pan a baggy with flour salt and pepper when I was a teenager.

I tried that Bob and it came out ok.

Did ya use sweet pickle relish? To me that’s what makes it good. Ymmv.

[JoeG52]

I usually add just a little bit of yellow mustard too.

[Ranger99]

When I make it I use
mayonnaise, horseradish, onion,
chopped dills, dill weed, a bit of
white vinegar, and some black pepper,
a bit of Louisiana Gold
Probably some other something.
Red sauce  is similar, with more
horseradish, no pickles
I'd have to think on it a while

Tartar sauce is better made with mayonnaise than with Miracle whip, but my wife only stocks Miracle Whip.  It is preferred over mayonnaise for everything except tartar sauce.

[Bob Riebe]

Hellmann's Mayonnaise:
SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS, DISTILLED VINEGAR, EGG YOLKS, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA

Miracle Whip:
Ingredients: Water, Soybean Oil, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Vinegar, Modified Cornstarch, Eggs, Salt, Natural Flavor, Mustard Flour, Potassium Sorbate as a Preservative, Paprika, Spice, Dried Garlic. Contains: Egg.

   Now to the question Mule...did you get her tartar sauce recipe?   ..Bet it was a good one...

   For me , tartar sauce is just Mayo nd sweet pickle relish.  Don't have to stop there though, various juices, peppers or spices are optional.
   I may add a touch of black pepper, cajun or curry.

No. But her and my grandfather had a huge garden. Really my grandfathers as he did almost all of the work. They would can and freeze lots and would even go pick what they did not grow themselves like certain berries. Grandma was definitely the better fisher, papa was no slouch though and even had a cricket box.
