What is ravigotte sauce actually?

Ravigotte sauce is a sharp, tangy sauce often used in French cuisine with fish dishes, and in the Netherlands often with herring, fries, or shrimp croquettes. It's a traditional sauce with a tangy, fresh flavor thanks to the combination of vinegar, mustard, oil, onions, herbs, and capers. The recipe may vary, but the base is almost always the same. The power and uniqueness of ravigotte sauce lies in the delicious symphony of flavors—the sharpness of the mustard, the freshness of the vinegar, the tang of the onions, the sweetness of the oil, and the salty, savory crunch of the capers—all combined into the perfect union.
