Tartar Sauce Day
National Tartar Sauce Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday of Lent to honor the popular tangy, creamy condiment. Founded by Frisch’s Big Boy in 2017, this day encourages pairing tartar sauce with seafood, fries, and other dishes. Tartar sauce is typically made from mayonnaise, chopped pickles, capers, lemon juice, and seasonings, though variations can include other ingredients like mustard, dill, or herbs. Whether it’s fried fish, shrimp, or crab cakes, celebrate by pairing your dish with a generous dollop of tartar sauce. Try making your own version using fresh ingredients. It’s easy to customize to your taste with different seasonings or add-ins. Use tartar sauce as a dip for vegetables, chips, or even as a spread for sandwiches and burgers. If you’re cooking for friends or family, make a batch of tartar sauce and introduce them to this tasty condiment!
