Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was fantastic! I didn't have cornichons, champagne or white wine vinegar, but used instead sweet pickle relish (I... drained it of its juice), cider vinegar and sauvignon blanc... I admit I was a little nervous at first, but this just tastes fantastic. Bar none, the best tartar sauce I've ever had. Thanks for another great recipe!Read more

The best tartar sause!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I fried some catfish for a catfish sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes and wanted to make some yummy sause to go with it. I... made this sause for my husband and he loved it!! I will never buy store tartar again!!! I didn't put it in the food processor though cause I like mine a little chunky, so I just diced the pickles and left the capers the size they were. VERY TASTY!!! VERY EASY!! Thanks Ina!!Read more

Best Tartar Sauce EVER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I still have my cocktail sauce brought to me in Atlanta from the best fish camp in North Carolina, but nobody's tartar sauce... is as good as this! The capers and champagne vinegar make it PERFECT! Upscale, yet easy to put together. As a Southern gal, I ONLY use Duke's mayonnaise. Don't shortchange any of your food, but especially this tartar sauce, with anything less than the best. Like other reviewers, I also used relish instead of pickles and spicy brown instead of grain mustard.Read more

Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Much better than store-bought! For those that think this is bland, be sure to add salt/pepper. Homemade sauces and... dressings need it.Read more

The Best Tartar Sauce Ever!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have always made homemade tartar sauce as the stuff in store is just hideous. Anyway, this is the best I have ever tried. ... We even dipped the potatoe wedges in it. We like it a little tangier, so I add a little extra vinegar. I also add some chopped fresh chives from the herb garden. Mmm, Mmm good!!Read more
