  dinner this evening will be fishsticks with homemade
tartar sauce.  i made a quart just after having breakfast
and that will get us through our current supply of
fish sticks.  the main and primary ingredient is dill
pickles so it is important to get ones that are really
good.

Okey doke.  I fail to see the need to make homemade tartar sauce
for [presumeably] frozen fish sticks but hey, knock yourself out!
I hope you and your mom enjoy dinner. :)

2 reasons I can see.
 
1- One less thing to keep in stock.  If you already have mayo and
pickles, you can omit adding Tartar sauce to your shopping list
(then carrying it to the car and from the car to your house).
 
2- BIG markup as opposed to making it.  Takes really just mao and
some type of pickles (several types work).  Optionally may add
extra dill to taste and.or mustard.  Some add lemon juice to taste,
I skip lemon and use just a little pickle juice.

 
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. ;)

Well ok but the comment was all about the sauce.  As to fish sticks,
they arent fine cuisine and never were.  They aare just quick and most
of us had them as kids and liked them.
