Notes
Use good dill pickles. Taste them! If you don't like them, don't use them in your tartar sauce.
Use full fat mayonnaise. Nothing will ruin your tartar sauce faster than diet mayonnaise.
Use fresh lemon juice and dill. If you can't find fresh, substituting for the bottled kind or dried dill will work but for the tastiest tartar sauce, use fresh.
