Hello Bob,
The Daniel Webster Inn recipe for this does not appear to be on the Internet.
Sorry. However, there are other recipes for this, although they are not exactly
the same. Below are three. You might try the first, substituting walnuts for
the pecans and adding the whipped cream.

Hi Alice,
There are no copycat recipes for the Robert Rothschild product on the Internet.
One of the below sauces might be similar.
Phaed

Another easy and delicious dressing recipe is to mix three parts raspberry
vinegar to one part honey mustard

I received this e-mail from a former Morrison's employee:
I worked at a Morrison Cafeteria in 1978 in Florida. I worked in the store
room and pulled the food requests for the next day. I made the tarter sauce
by the buckets full. It consisted of finely chopped cabbage,onion, bell pepper,
dill pickle relish and mayonnaise. Most of the vegetables came in fresh except
the green beans, they were canned, however they were blue lake sieve 4 if I
remember correctly. We also had a bible that we used for the recipes. This
black book had every recipe Morrison used on its menu. They also had a large
sheet of paper that was broken up into sections for each department in the
kitchen. I also made the topping for the pies which went around the whip
topping. It consisted of toasted sliced almonds,toasted coconut and toasted
graham cracker crumbs that we added a little melted butter to. It was applied
to the sides of all the pies. I also remember giving the chef a large piece
of fat back every evening before I left which he would put in a large stock
pot full of water and it would cook all night long. He would use this to
season most of the vegetables with. The corned beef was slow cooked in the
oven until tender and then the chef would coat it with a mixture of ketchup,
brown sugar and a little dash of yellow mustard. He would cover the corned
beef with this and cook it a little longer to set the glaze. If I remember
correctly the fish almondine was dipped in a mixture of milk and mayonnaise
then dipped in crushed cracker crumbs and sliced almonds. The fry cook would
prep these up and let them sit to help form the crust then they were deep
fried. The baked fish was made almost the same way, however the fry cook
would take mayonnaise and thin it with a little milk and paint the fish
with it and then he would sprinkle paprika all over the fish. This also
sat for a while and then was baked. The fish used was Spanish mackerel
filets. I would really love to get a hold of that book or some of the
other recipes. Each station had a cook or person that had been with the
company for years so I know they are out there.
Another reader sent this:
The recipe you have on line is wrong; I have prepared this dish many times
when working for Morrison’s.
You can use any mild fish filet, it really doesn’t matter, we use to use skin
on mackerel, it was cheap and once cooked, no one knew it had the black skin on,
I prefer to use tilapia now.
Set up three pans
Pan one – crushed saltine crackers with sliced almonds (not chopped, but thin sliced)
ratio is up to how many almonds you want in the batter
Pan two – milk and egg wash WITH Almond extract (THE secret ingredient), to a cup of
milk and 2 eggs, add about 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
Pan three – plain flour
Dip the fish in the flour, then in the egg wash and then in the crushed cracker mix,
allow the fish to sit for a few minutes to help the cracker mix adhere.
Fry to a golden brown, it is just that simple!! (best if you can deep fry, the crust
holds better
By the way, in my opinion, the tartar sauce was better than the fish, the main ingredient
in the tartar sauce was finely chopped cabbage,
