It was not fru-fru dinner night. And I’m way ok with that. Some crunchy fish filets and fries were on the menu. I’m a fish and chips addict, whether I get them in an Irish pub or out of the freezer. But I gotta have a good tartar sauce (or sometimes, malt vinegar) to go with them. That’s right, ‘them’. Not only do I like a nice dilly sauce with my fish, I also dip my fries in it. Nothing beats it. Try it! Easy dill tartar sauce is great!

Dill Me In
I like to use fresh dill in this easy dill tartar sauce but that’s not always possible. I’ve found that dried dill works just fine. I like my tartar sauce pretty dilly, so I usually add more. And speaking of more, I’d double the recipe even for 4 servings if you’re a tartar sauce maniac like me. Really, that’s mostly because of the fry-dipping thing. Mayonnaise sauces aren’t popular in the US for fries, but they should be. People are missing out in my opinion!
Also try my malt vinegar aioli.
