I think this would work with fish, too, like a mild white fish. I get the individually sealed and frozen cod fillets at Sam's club and make my own tartar sauce with mayo and sweet relish.

I believe it's all up to your personal taste. Decide how much you want to make and then use equal amounts of mayo and relish. You can start tweaking it at this point. I sometimes add just a splash of Worcestershire sauce to it. Not too much...again, depending on your taste.
