Tartar Sauce Recipe

Tartar sauce is a creamy condiment typically made from mayonnaise, chopped pickles or relish, capers, lemon juice, and various seasonings. It’s often served with fried or breaded seafood, such as fish and chips, but can also complement other dishes like crab cakes and sandwiches. The sauce has a tangy and slightly sweet flavor profile, making it a popular choice for enhancing the taste of seafood dishes. Variations of tartar sauce may include additional ingredients like mustard, herbs (like dill or parsley), or spices to customize the flavor further.
