A Swedish classic that is the favourite of many school children. Deep-fried cod with peas, potatoes and “cold sauce” (not tartar sauce. Explanation in comments)

One dish from school many people remember fodnly is when we had “fisk med kall sås”, or “fish with cold sauce” in English.
The sauce looks like tartar sauce, but it’s not. The base is the same with sour cream and mayonnaise, but then we have dill and something we call “bostongurka” (Boston cucumber). This relish has nothing to do with the US and I have no idea why we call it Boston cucumber, as it’s a Swedish invention.
It’s basically a diced cucumber, red bell pepper, onion, sugar, salt, yellow mustard seeds and white vinegar.
Bostongurka is also popular to have on hot dogs.

For some reason, nothing hits like the sauce from school did. Rydbergs did make one that was kind of close but I haven’t seen it in the store in a while. Kind of craving this dish now

I wonder where I could find this in SoCal.. looks good. Sauce is for fish only or do people usually it have with the potatoes as well?
*edit: besides IKEA, looks like the few are out in LA or OC.

That is an unholy amount of sauce, regardless of what you call it.

You just eat the potatoes plain or is that what the cold sauce is for?

As a danskjävel I’ll probably be executed for treason saying this, but this rocked my childhood as well.
