This tartar sauce with sour cream was inspired by my sweet pickles with cinnamon and cloves and it tastes delicious on fried fish. It's creamy, tart but not sour, full of fresh dill flavor and subtly spiced with clove and just a hint of cinnamon.

This tartar sauce is made with the traditional finely chopped dill pickles but instead of mayonnaise it uses sour cream. The sauce has a wonderfully creamy texture and doesn't have the heaviness that mayonnaise usually adds.
