New to the board from Texas and wanted to share this recipe for tartar sauce from a famous south Texas restaurant named kings inn.

1 medium yellow onion diced
2 stalks celery diced
1 jar pimentos
1 half bell pepper diced
1 boiled egg chopped
16 Chile pequins fresh. Sub other fresh Chile’s if you can’t get these
1 qt Mayo.
2 garlic cloves
Juice of a lemon
Few dashes of Worcestershire and Louisiana hot sauce
Sleeve or two of ritz crackers or saltines smashed

Put everything but the crackers in a blender and purée. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl it should be liquid. Mix in crackers to thicken and it will thicken the longer it sits so initially make it slightly runny.

This is good on anything fried and is delicious as a dip or spread over fresh tomato slices

Kings Inn is so good! My favorite is the broiled black drum and Bombay salads. I gew up in Kingsville and still go there to eat when I go home to visit. Thanks for sharing the recipe, did you ever fish baffin bay?

oh yeah.  managed to fish it and not lose a lower unit which was nice.  I never caught any monsters out of there but had a great many days.  Went with a guide once tossing croaker and one of the guys fishing with me tried to cast, got a backlash and his croaker fell by the outboard.  He starts picking out the backlash, gets it done, and catches a 34 inch trout.  No justice.

The Bombay salads are really good.  I have a recipe for that as well somewhere.

We always liked the onion rings that were shredded so thin with the slightly sweet batter...amazing.

well at least you are in a nice area of California.
I left California 8 years ago to your Great State of Texas and love it
Loved my NCKA brothers I had the opportunity to fish with and learn a lot about kayak fishing and handling
