Finely chop onion, gherkin and capers and mix with good mayo - I use organic. Leave to stand for an hour or two in the fridge, if you have time. If the capers are preserved in salt, wash them first.
I read about making Tartare Sauce in someone's blog, but I can't remember whose, or even what blog site it was on, so I'm afraid I can't credit it, sorry. Actually, theirs may have had more ingredients, but I find the ones I use sufficient. It's even fine without the onion (as I found out tonight when I discovered I had no onions).

I know this is an old post, but wanted to add, that here in the US, the typical "tartar" sauce is simply mayo mixed with sweet pickle relish and a few drops of lemon juice--most commonly found on McDonald's Filet O' Fish sandwich, over here.
Conversely, Ted's Fish Fry, a local chippy where I grew up, used a sweet chilli sauce on their fish (tho' you could get tartar sauce too, if you asked for it). Their formula was to mix the sweet pickle relish and a minimal amount of lemon juice with catsup. Quite good on fried fish, actually---sweet and very slightly tart.-

Thanks for your comment. Looks like I missed it when you made it. They sound like interesting alternatives. I didn't realise you had chippies in the USA.

I suspect our chippies--or "fish fry's" as we call them, are much different than yours.
Our "fish fry's"--at least in New York state and New England, are traditionally served on a hot-dog roll, with fries (chips) and cole slaw on the side, as our "fish and chips" dinner--or served by itself just on the roll.
I've read where in the U.K., they're sometimes served with "mushy peas?" Is that true?-

You're right - it is different. Here we have fish fried in batter and fat chips (fries) wrapped up in paper. You can have mushy peas with them, but I never do as I think they're horrid. I've noticed that you can have them with curry sauce too, but I don't fancy that either. You can get salt and vinegar on the chips, but I prefer to put my own salt on at home and I put lemon juice on as well.
Now my mouth is watering.
