Tartar sauce is a classic dipping sauce for fish.  It is also great for dipping French fries.  Tartar Sauce, or sauce tartare as it was originally called in France, has been around a long time.  The sauce is thought to be named after the Tartars, Mongolian conquerers who roamed what is now Russia and its neighbors in the 5th century.
