McDonalds tartar sauce

deleted2678113

Posted 10th Nov 2010

It's past 3am and I've been scouring online for somewhere we can buy the tubs of mcdonalds tartar sauce (the ones they use on their fillet fish meals)

As the meals aren't suitable for us we cannot just buy the meals to relieve our urges. Yes we are major fans of the fillet meals

In the past we had a mcdonalds e'ee sell us the tartar sauce - as my kids love the stuff (sorry I do too!!!). But they have told us now they can't get hold of them as easily

The tubs are used for that day then binned even if they are unopened (or so Ive been told). The employee would then sell them to me for peanuts!

My post is to ask is there anyone out there who can sell me these tubs of mcdonalds tartar sauce. Im willing to collect if not too far from Slough, reading, Windsor etc ...

Our horde of sauce has now depleted and we need more, so can anyone help???

Had a quick dig around.... Its apparently made in-store by mcdonalds staff, the recipe is

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Miracle Whip®
1/4 cup Vlasic® Dill Relish
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
2 teaspoons half-and-half
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice concentrate
12 capers, minced
1/8 teaspoon granulated sugar

Combine all ingredients in a small jar. Mix very well and refrigerate in an air-tight container until needed.

NOTE: Make this Tartar Sauce well in advance!

Another submission which apparently comes close to the real thing

1 quart mayonnaise (I like heavy duty mayo best...then the pickles and their juice don't make the sauce too runny!)
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup finely minced onion
1 cup finely chopped kosher dill pickles
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Whisk all ingredients together in glass bowl. Storage in tightly sealed container overnight or at least 4 hours before serving in fridge.

I worked for 1 day in Mcdonald's - the sauce comes in a wholesale tub.

Many people on the interwebs lie then

OP have you ever tried making it yourself? I've never had a fillet-o-fish, i might have to try it.

Possibly, or it could have been made and put into the tubs or be made no, but I cant see it. Good way to get it thought if OP has time to make it

Thanks for the info. The online recipes I've seen also but they're lying if they say they make it onsite as I was sold these tetra style (ie milk pack style) cartons. 1 end had a nozzle with a thin plastic membrane. You could then squeeze to let out the contents

It looked like they used it a bit like the tubes you buy to do the grouting, sealant etc ...

The recipes online some seem to be reverse engineered, will try some but was just hoping someone may have worked there who could sell me some or let me know of a shop I could buy
It from?

The tubs were presealed so can't be made onsite unless they have full packaging facilities

Yeah they are bought in in tubes as mentioned, just like sealant with the gun.

My first job was in McD's, nothing is made on site (apart from cooking the burgers then assembling them).
Even the salad, tomatoes and onions come pre-sliced in bags, and the other onions are dehydrated, you have to soak in water!

The recipes may be US recipes, so could well be made on site, but over here nope!

Lol. It's how all their sauces come. We used to have a good laugh using them as guns, they had quite the range on them and the tartare sauce left a very bad smell.
