I tested a bunch of tartar sauce recipes on the internet, took what I liked from each one, and crafted my own version. The result? A tartar sauce so good you could eat it by the spoonful with nothing else. Not exaggerating. It’s the combo of fresh dill + sweet relish + capers + French shallot that does all the work. Most recipes use parsley or chives; I went with dill because its herbaceous and slightly anise flavors bring something that no other herb can do with fried fish. Every time I serve this sauce, guests tell me it’s the best tartar they’ve ever tasted. To try it is to adopt it.<\/p>\n
First secret: sweet relish instead of chopped pickles. Honestly, I never eat relish in my daily life. It’s only in this sauce that I use it. And I use the SWEET, not the dill, because the capers and dill already bring all the tangy-herbaceous side. The sweet relish adds a subtle sweet side that balances everything and gives a roundness you won’t find in any other tartar sauce. Trust me on this, it’s what changes everything. Second secret: don’t salt TOO much. The first time I made the recipe, I over-seasoned and it was too salty. The capers and mustard already bring a lot of salinity. Go easy and taste before salting.<\/p>\n
This sauce is the secret weapon you need to have permanently in your fridge whenever there’s fried food on the table. Classic on golden fish and chips, perfect for dipping perfectly fried golden calamari, magnificent with fish or shrimp croquettes, sublime with crispy homemade fries. It’s also the kind of entertaining recipe that transforms an impromptu dinner with friends into a successful feast. Bring out the sauce, put a well-chilled bottle of white on the table, and everyone goes crazy. It keeps for a week in the fridge and even gets better after two or three days when the flavors have had time to marry. Double the recipe if you plan multiple uses during the week, it goes fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
