I prefer to make my own tartar sauce since store-brought tartar sauces in general aren't very good. One usual issue is that these have a sweetener such as high-fructose corn syrup, added, which makes the sauce taste... wrong. I mean, tartar sauces are supposed to be savory and salty, not sweet. Anyway, this recipe is quick to make, and the secret ingredient that kicks it up a notch is choooped fresh shallots. I usually serve it with fish (such as air-fried Gorton's fish fillets...don't judge me but it's good). The sauce also tastes good with French fries.
Make approximately 1/4 cup
3 tablespoons plain mayo
2 teaspoons horseradish sauce
1 teaspoon dill relish (or 1/4 pickle spear chopped) -- be sure to drain so the sauce won't be watery
1 teaspoon chopped fresh shallot (this would be about 1/3 of an average-sized shallot)
1 teaspoon capers
few shakes of Worcestshire sauce
Put all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix with spoon until well blended. I suggest you make this an hour or so beforehand to let the sauce's flavor mojo.
