Serving Tartar Sauce

A delightful way to serve tartar
sauce is to cut lemon in half, clean
out the inside thoroughly and then
Ill the halves with the sauce. One is
served to each guest When fish is
served the little lemon cups are
placed around the edge of the platter
and one served to each guest. By
this method the sauce remains firm
instead of melting into a liquid when
