After coming back from Australia over the holidays, and being on a two week seafood bender, one thing stuck out - we were missing some sauce love! There was lots of aioli, but it was mostly bland - almost just a straight "mayo" as we'd call it,. One thing you can count on in the South when you order seafood is a good, flavorful cocktail sauce (if you want a good store-bought version, check THIS out), and a good tartar sauce. I have to say, I was missing that savory, zingy flavor. I mean I love mayo, but you can only eat so much! Because I'm a sucker for anything rich and delicious, I always have to have homemade tartar sauce with my otherwise "healthy" seafood. So I decided to make a batch to keep on hand for upcoming seafood needs. This couldn't be easier and takes about 10 minutes. I like a little garlic flavor, but you could easily omit garlic. You can do ahead and keep for about a week in the fridge. This recipe also doubles and triples easily. Read all about it, after the jump!
