Tartar Sauce

Cultural Context

Tartar sauce has its roots in French cuisine, often associated with the classic pairing of seafood dishes. Traditionally served with fried fish, it embodies the essence of simple yet flavorful condiments. In Belgium, it complements local seafood and frites, reflecting the country's love for rich flavors. Today, variations abound globally, with some adding ingredients like sriracha or horseradish for a spicy twist.
