Homemade Tartar Sauce is far superior than store bought and it’s actually quite simple to make! Theres a good chance you already have all of the ingredients on hand.

Enjoy this sauce with Beer Battered Fish and Chips or as a dipping sauce for french fries (my favorite).

Creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy Tartar Sauce next to baskets of fish and chips.

Tartar Sauce

This homemade Tartar Sauce recipe will make you never buy store-bought again! Just remember to allow a little bit of chill time in the fridge; it's exponentially better once the flavors have had a chance to marry.
