    I made this tonight and it was awesome! very easy to make and tasted great.

    i used plain low-fat yogurt instead of the mayo and it tasted great. I served with a side grilled squash and sweet potato.

    Wonderful and simple.
    It satisfied my craving for battered fish and tartar sauce in a much healthier way.
    Fresh herbs from the garden made the flavors really stand out.
    We will definitely have this again soon.

    Easy to prepare. It's especially nice to make when I can go to my herb garden in the spring and summer and snip what need!
