The only way to make tartar sauce is:

1 part red onion
1 part dill relish
1 part sweet relish
1 squeezed lemon
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Enough Helmans to bind it together

Tartar sauce is good, and that one looks well balanced scalebuster.

The fish tacos I had at a restaurant today had a sauce that was a little sweet and a little spicy. It appeared to be a clear amber color. Those tacos were with fried fish, shredded cabbage, pepper jack cheese and the sweet/spicy sauce. They were really good. That's why I'm looking for a variety of different sauces to try. I have some Sheepshead filets in the freezer that are just crying to be made into fish tacos.

Chimichuri sauce is my go to often. Everyone loves it on grilled venison steaks.
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 large garlic cloves, minced (2 1/2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons oregano leaves
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Jalapeno Aioli is a family favorite on anything and everything
4 jalapenos, halved
2 cups loosely packed cilantro, stems removed
3/4 cup mayo or sour cream (or I usually do 1/2 cup mayo and 1/4 cup sour cream)
4 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup olive oil (mainly to thin it out if necessary. You be the judge on the amount.)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Cilantro Dip gets used for a sauce somewhat frequently in my house (Also makes a party favorite dip for tortilla chips).
1-2 jalapenos
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2 cup chopped cilantro
4-5 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Now the big kicker for fish tacos isn't sauce, it's the addition of creative slaws. Haven't messed with any yet, but these are the ones I plan on trying out.


Jalepeno Cilantro Slaw

Chipolte Slaw

You can adjust some of the garlic amounts if you don't care for garlic. I add garlic in abundance to everything I make. "If it doesn't have vanilla, then it needs garlic."

I used to make this all the time for blackened fish tacos. Always fantastic.

I believe a raspberry based sauce is traditional.
