Recipe Notes

We think the tartar sauce is one of the best sauces for the kaki fry. To make the sauce, please check out our Ebi Fry recipe.
You can also enjoy the kaki fry with Japanese Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise or ketchup.

Hello: I prepared the fried oysters and homemade tartar sauce. It came out well. I would like to know why this site is called “cooking with dog.” I find that disturbing.

Thank you for trying our fried oysters and homemade tartar sauce.😊 Glad to hear you enjoyed them. Sorry that the name of this site upsets you.😅　It comes from the YouTube cooking show started in 2007. It is just the name of this show and we will not start cooking dog meat.🙇‍♂️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_with_Dog
