Best tarter sauce

[Kingfisher]

What is the best tarter sauce to use on walleye and salmon. We have tried several brands, but none are as good as we eat in some restaurants.

Heres my recipe

Mayo, ketchup, pickle relish,mustard. No measurements just mix to taste. Have used additional things from time to time horseradish, soysauce, etc. What ever you have a fancy for could be added and should taste great.

Well this may not be a tartar sauce but it sure tastes good.

I use the mayo base and add a little taragon. Then some salt and white pepper. Maybe a little chive or green onion if you have some. Then mince some fresh garlic and add sparingly to taste. This on the fish and then on the grill is fantastic.

A fish sandwich with this and some greens and fixings and you are in!

It is more of an aoli than tartar and tastes less processed. The garlic being raw gives you the kick of the horseradish but a little different.

Wow psegriz, that's almost crazy enough to work.

Is it good? Sounds awful but tasty at the same time

Have a crappie day!!

most restrants kitchens i've been in use a huge tub-o kraft tartar we buy it in small squeezeables and my kids like it (shrug) i'm going to have to try some hommade stuff.. then put it in those squeezeables they are great for everything ..

If you are going to buy it , Silver springs Tartar sauce, usually in the cheese section at the store, in a cooler, I never liked it until I tried Silver spings.

miracle whip and gedney sweet relish.
has to be gedney. i've tried the cheap stuff and it just doesn't do it.
As for how much of relish to miracle whip. Well best i can discribe is,for every two heaping table spoons of miracle whip about 2 or three heaping teaspoons of gedney sweet relish.I really don't measure it. ya just look at it and go yup thats about right.

[HOGEYE]

approx 1 cup generic salad dressing or miracle whip
approx 1/3 cup sweet relish (or to desired...)
squirt of fresh lemon juice
small squirt of worchestorsire(sp?)

Sometimes I'll add a little cajun or tabasco for heat.

This recipe is very inexpensive to make for a large fish fry or for just a few. It is by far much better than the Kraft.
