My comment was actually more about the frozen fish sticks than it was the homemade tartar sauce.  I haven't found any frozen fish sticks worth spending money on in years.  Homemade tartar sauce is kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. 😉

 Last time I had fish sticks was when my mother made Mrs. Paul's about 1960.  Never bought or made tarter sauce.  I never felt deprived though.

I grew up eating fish sticks in the 1960's and 1970's.  My mother bought different brands, depending upon which was less expensive.  When I was a kid and we'd visit my mothers parents, grandma cooked fish sticks every week as part of an inexpensive weekly meal plan. (Nope, no tartar sauce.) I liked fish sticks but hey, I was a kid; didn't know any better.
Fish sticks got progressively worse (less fish, more breading or batter) as I got older.  I've actually tried a few different brands of frozen fish sticks in recent years.  IMHO, they are just not worth making (or buying) tartar sauce when all you are trying to do is use it to cover up a crappy frozen fish product.  MMV, of course.
