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.
