Tartar Sauce

[Deanna]

While we are SO on the subject of seafood and un-fried fish this week...who has a great recipe for tartar sauce?

To me, fried catfish must have tartar sauce. Other fish can do just fine with a squeeze of lemon or a garlic-butter sauce.

Here are two from my "to try" file; please let me know if you have tried either one.

TIA

Dang. I feel so provincial....here's my recipe:

Sweet pickle relish
Miracle whip
Finely chopped boiled egg white, if I'm in the boiling and chopping frame of mind.

I've never DREAMED of adding any of the other ingredients! I've led such a sheltered life. <sigh>

Here is a recipe that my late MIL passed on to me:


AVOCADO TARTAR SAUCE

1 cup mayo
1 avocado, mashed
juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 1/2 tsp.dijon mustard
2 tbs. chopped green onion
2 tbs. sweet relish
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
salt & pepper to taste

mix well and chill

Very yummy!

Thank you both for your replies. Not sure if I'm really ready for avocado in my tartar sauce...but who knows...I may get brave enough to try it some day!

Thanks again

My DH just grates dill pickles, adds low-fat mayo and a squirt of lemon juice and then adjusts the proportions until he is happy with the consistency. I'm not a tarter sauce fan but even I like his version. I like the idea of adding green onion, tarragon, and something on the spicey side from the recipes above so we may need to experiment with our next fish.

Someday, somebody will be glad these recipes are in the database!!!
