The Right Way To Prepare Tartar Sauce

Everyone seems to prepare this sauce in a different way. One place I worked, loaded sweet relish into a jar of mayo. Another added small amounts of anchovies and peppercorns. There are other examples. Every restaurant says their way is the right way and the only way. I have heard that American chefs prepare this differently from the British.

I vary mine....but I like mayo with sweet pickle relish, and apple vinegar....I also like dillweed and capers with green onions and mayo.....depends on what it's going on and what's in the fridge.

We have a place in town called Tide's Tavern that makes the very best tartar sauce I've ever had. They serve it along side their dinner fries and deep fried cod (oh does it sound good about now)....they use dill pickle relish.

Thank you both; The dill really does it..ummm!

we do dill, curly leaf parsley, capers, cornichons, onions, juice from the cornichons and mayo...its really good.
