 couple of super simple seafood sauces today inspired by a great American seafood shack Bowens Island restaurant which is just outside of Folly Beach or just outside of Charleston really on the way to Folly Beach but a real simple tartar sauce and cocktail sauce sometimes I'll go to these seafood places and I'll almost be mad because I don't get they'll give me like a teeny little cup of tartar sauce so dog got it we're gonna make tartar sauce at home actually Bowens Island takes care of you and gives you a healthy portions of everything and you can go back and get tartar sauce so not complaining about Bowens Island it's awesome but let's get right to the recipe super simple I think a lot of times you'll have plenty of tartar sauces because it's pretty shelf stable but cocktail sauce is about as easy as it gets I've known this one forever it's just ketchup and horseradish and not the mayonnaise based horsi sauce like they have in RVs this is just straight horseradish in fact it's pretty spicy the one that I use I like that a little bit better sometimes people add some Worcestershire sauce sometimes a little Tabasco sauce but really that's all you need maybe some even some lemon juice but ketchup and horseradish tartar sauce a little more to it for that and it starts with a good cup of high quality mayonnaise of course here in the south we're dealing with dukes might be something different elsewhere I add a tablespoon of sweet pickle relish if you got those bread and butter sweet pickles you can just mince those up and use that but tablespoon of sweet pickle relish some lemon juice about two tablespoons is about half a lemon here mix it all up add some salt and pepper as much as you like actually a good bit of salt and pepper just to really mix it together a little bit of minced onion about a tablespoon of minced onion and just a little dab of mustard as well to give it a little bit of color that's it but the most important thing is you got to let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors really meld together that little bit of time really makes it great but that's it super simple tartar sauce inspired by a trip to Bowen's Island you look closely in the video you can probably pick up some dirty jokes that people write on the table but always cold beer then look at that view just cannot beat it if you're looking for a cold beer and some fried flounder some fantastic hush puppies little coleslaw and the shrimp and great portion sizes as well the chairs may be a little rickety though depending on which one you sit on the chair could get about at any time after this meal but who's worried about Bowen's Island don't miss it close Sundays and Mondays Robert Barber I think he's the second generation to run the oyster room there for years and years and years and congratulations to him recognized by the James Beard House as an American classic make a run the Bowen's Island so good got the whole recipes for both the cocktail sauce and the tartar sauce on the website and a great hush puppy recipe in the free book that is available on the website as well www.barbecutricks.com
