I’ve never had tartar sauce in my life before I met my husband. I just ate fried fish plain, but it definitely needed something more. We were out to eat one evening at a restaurant while we were dating and we ordered the fish. My husband encouraged me to try tartar sauce with the fish, and, my friends, I’ve never looked back!

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE:
