We don’t have fish too often, but when we do I like to have tartar sauce to serve with it. A couple years ago I realized it was rather stupid to keep buying bottles of tartar sauce, use them once and place them in the fridge for next time. “Next time” usually didn’t come until it was to late to salvage the rest of the bottle or it had been long lost in the depths of the refrigerator. So I found this easy homemade tartar sauce recipe and we have been using it ever since.

It tastes WAY better than store bought and if we have any leftover I add a little ketchup and it makes a WONDERFUL dipping sauce for fries, tater tots, or pretty much anything you would use ketchup on. We put it on hamburgers the other night…..yummm!
A great tasting, easy, tartar sauce with no waste!
“We don’t have fish to often” — You should use too, not to. I love your blog though!
Thanks!
And, while you’re at it…make your own mayo with your yummy fresh eggs. Very easy. The hardest part is cleaning the blender/food processor. Be sure to wash the shells really well, since you’ll be using the eggs raw.
I always make My own tartar sauce It seems to be about the same as yours. I’ve switched out the mayo for 1/4 cup mayo and 1 cup Greek yogurt. It is a lot easier that having to drop everything to run to the store because the one in the frig expired a year ago. Fantastic blog!
Good idea with the Greek yogurt….much healthier that way! Thanks Frank
