What is "cocktail sauce"?
Cocktail sauce is a tangy and spicy condiment commonly served with seafood, especially shrimp and oysters. It is typically made from a base of ketchup or chili sauce, mixed with horseradish, lemon juice, and other seasonings. Cocktail sauce has a bold and zesty flavor with a kick of heat from the horseradish, balanced by the sweetness of the ketchup and the tanginess of the lemon juice. It adds a burst of flavor to seafood dishes, complementing their natural taste with its savory and tangy profile.
Examples
As a dipping sauce connoisseur, I declared the cocktail sauce as the ideal accompaniment to my fried fish fillets.
