Tested Versus Tartar Sauce: Surprising Benefits vs. McCormick’s Convenience…Pick Your Side!
Tested Versus Tartar Sauce: Surprising Benefits vs. McCormick’s Convenience…Pick Your Side! We’ve long debated the merits of homemade versus pre-made tartar sauce, and McCormick’s 8 fl oz bottle gave us a fresh perspective. Consistency is a standout here—the sauce maintains a smooth, well-balanced flavor without clumps, making it effortlessly pourable. While we appreciate the time saved (no grinding anchovies or chopping herbs!), we also recognize the loss of customization. McCormick’s version hits the classic notes just right, but adjusting seasonings feels limiting compared to from-scratch recipes. The 8 fl oz size is practical for casual dining, but we wonder if it’s enough for frequent use or larger gatherings. Our takeaway? It’s a reliable, convenient option for when authenticity isn’t the top priority, but purists might prefer the craft of homemade.
