Healthy, because
The fish scores with the trace element selenium, which is important for our immune system. Equally important is the iodine contained in the fish, of which we often get too little in Germany, so you should eat cod more often as your energy metabolism will thank you for it.

Sauce Tartar is a cold sauce from the French kitchen and is used similarly to remoulade. One of the basic ingredients is mayonnaise, which you can use as a finished product or prepare yourself. You can find a light version here.
