Dip recipes

Flavor isn’t found—it’s forged to scale. When you’re prepping for the crew, you need a sauce that holds its edge.

Mariner’s Tartar Sauce

• The Build: Whisk 1 tbsp of Seafood Base into 1 ¾ cups of mayo. Fold in ¼ cup diced red onion and 2 tbls fresh dill. Whisk in 1 tbls of Citrus Mix-in

• The Forge: Let is sit for at least 15 minutes for flavors to bloom and meld. Bright, clean, and briny. Use it as a strike-point for fish, shrimp cocktail or cucumber rounds.

"The Ironclad" Onion Dip

• The Build: Fold 2 tbsp Beef Base into 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and ½ cup caramelized onions.

Heritage Herb Crema
