Goes great with all kinds of boiled or fried seafood, as well as raw fosters...or even just a nice, crisp saltine.

12 oz catsup
12 oz chili sauce( can be found in the sauce section of the grocery)
5 oz horseradish ( best if you make your own)
2 oz lemon juice
1 T Wohrchestersire sauce
1 t of your favorite creole/Cajun seasoning

Mix , taste test and serve. Your can cut back a bit on the horseradish if you need. Fine dicing 2 T of celery is also a good touch.

That would be good with a lot of stuff. Sounds like my Moms recipe, but she doesn't use chili sauce, or the Cajun seasoning. A dab on her fried flounder is wonderful.

The chili sauce is really the key ingredient. Try it.

Chili sauce. Interesting. I will certainly try. I made the cocktail so hot on Mother's Day that I was the only person who loved it

I've also added wasabi tobiko, turned out great

False.


Freshly prepared horseradish >>>>> Anything that comes in a jar



At least IMO.

True, but I draw the line on some forms of prep work, go lazy on some prepared items. Horseradish from jars fades fast, short shelf life in terms of quality, so I do need to try use some fresh soon.

I made the mistake once of thinking the cocktail sauce was ketchup. Never again.

I almost threw up on the spot.

I posted this a while back. It's in the recipe thread.

This is by far the best cocktail sauce there is:

Antoine's Cocktail Sauce

Cocktail Sauce
4 Tbsp horseradish
1/2 cup Vinaigrette Sauce (recipe follows)
3 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 cups ketchup
1 Tbs Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice

Blend all ingredients together and chill.
Makes 3 cups.

Vinaigrette Sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup vinegar
1/4 tsp finely ground white pepper
1 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp dry powdered mustard

Put all ingredients into a bottle and shake to mix. Store at room temperature. Makes 1 1/2 cups vinaigrette.

Had to laugh. Since I live in the countryside outside of Nashville, I don't get many oysters. But every so often, I'll mix up some sauce like this,add some hot sauce and eat with crackers(Zestas),and a cold beer. I close my eyes to trick my mind(not that hard) that I'm eating oysters.

And you and I know it's good. I usually eat my raw oysters without the sauce, but drag a few crackers through it every dozen or so.

I put some shiracha in mine also now that I'm hooked on that stuff. But I can eat your recipe straight up on crackers.

Yes and about 5x hotter. I made the mistake of putting the usual amount of horseradish in my sauce at Manale's, not knowing it was freshly made. I lost all my hair and have been bald since.
