Tartar Sauce
Tartar Sauce is a creamy condiment commonly served with fried seafood and sandwiches, made from mayonnaise mixed with pickles, capers, herbs and sometimes lemon. It is especially popular in Western and coastal cuisines as a tangy accompaniment to fish and chips. Nutritionally, Tartar Sauce is energy-dense and high in fat, providing about 16.7g of fat per 100g, with modest amounts of protein and carbohydrates; it also contributes small amounts of vitamin K and vitamin E. Because it’s typically made from oil-based mayonnaise, it supplies some unsaturated fats but can be high in calories when used liberally. From a health perspective, tartar sauce is best enjoyed in small portions or replaced by lighter, similar sauces when you want to reduce calories and saturated fat; choosing a yogurt-based or vinaigrette-style alternative keeps the tangy flavor while improving the overall nutritional profile.
