If anyone has some suggestions on how to jack it up a little then they would be appreciated.

Horseradish sauce, you don't need much but it works well.

I add a little yellow mustard and sub sweet pickle relish over dill.

Always hit mine with a little Worcestershire.

My husband puts capers in the tartar sauce he makes

When I go to the trou le of making a homemade sauce witha mayo base, I make the mayo as well with an immersion blender:

2 Minute Mayo

I think it makes a difference.

I was shopping at the Golden Meadow Wal-Mart on the way to Grand Isle and had a buggy full of boil/fry stuff including Tartar Sauce. This sweet/large/old woman comes up and says “I got the best recipe for homemade tartar sauce.” After a long pause I finally asked her what it was. She said “Ma-nez and pickle relish” and walked away. So disappointing, I thought I was getting ready to receive the Da Vinci Code of Tartar Sauce. To this day I don’t know if she was messing with me or being sincere and thought she had something.

To me the gold standard of tarter was made by Hymel's restaurant in Convent. I just loved it as did my family. So, my mother came up with a recipe to duplicate the taste and she came really close.

Blue Plate Mayo
minced dill pickle
clove of garlic shred in the food processor
squeeze half a lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Grew up on that and love it to this day.

but there is still something missing.

Time. The onions or shallots need time in the acidic part.

Hey there it is! Thanks-I was having trouble locating that cash register paper recipe.

Hope all is well.

This is one I found on line, just wanted to post something, so you wouldn't think I was trying to mess with your thread. The recipe you posted with the addition of cabbage would probably be better than this one.

almost 2 years. It was our responsibility to make the Tartar Sauce.
Our recipe made a 20 gallon bucket full and we had to make this at
least twice a week.

10 heads of chopped green cabbage
12 seeded green bell peppers
6 large peeled and cored onions
4 #10 cans of dill pickle relish (slightly drained)
8 gallons of heavy duty mayonnaise

Home Version

1 medium seeded green bell pepper
1 medium cored and peeled white onion
