Recipe help - smoked tomato tartar sauce?
A friend just came back from the south with a tale of a delicious smoked tomato tartar sauce at a place called Stinky's Fish Camp. Seeing as it's the beginning of tomato season, a recipe might come in handy.
Anyone heard of this? Had it? Tried to replicate it with success? My Google-fu has failed to turn up anything promising.
Note - this is not a mueniere sauce.

Interesting. The only tartar sauce I've ever seen is a mayo-ish item with bits of relish and...stuff.
I'd bet it's stink's very own recipe and he made up the name to confuse people. Maybe you could call the place and see if they'd give you the recipe or at least an idea of what's in there.

Okay, I googled ;em, and the menu calls it a smoked tomato tartar meuniere in one place and a smoke tomato tartar in another, but maybe they're different. According tot he site, they're going to start selling the sauces online, so maybe you could buy it, taste it, and recreate it.

Maybe the tomato tartar sauce here with a bit of smoked paprika or chipoltle chili powder added to give the smokiness.

@dbcurrie:
Yup, it was an original to the restaurant. My friend is a pretty good dab at figuring out ingredients, but she couldn't quite pin them down. The waitress told her it was mayo based, but she tasted a stronger sour cream texture/flavor. She couldn't get any other details from the staff.
I wasn't familiar with the term 'meuniere' until I started researching, but it seems to be more closely associated to a cooking style than a suace style - and my friend confirms the fish she got with the sauce was cooked in this 'meuniere' fashion, so...crossroads again.
But thatnks for the suggestions!
@dhorst:
I'm gonna run this recipe by my friend and see what she thinks. Possibly this, with the tomatoes smoked before hand. We'll see! And, thank you - in all my searching, I didn't cross this recipe.

It sounds interesting. If you figure it out, post it.

I'm really confused as the two sauces don't lend well to each other as one is a browned butter sauce and the other is pinkish and mayo based, I would think the meuniere would darken the tartar sauce into something less than attractive.... what was the color of this sauce?
Is it possible they forgot to put the meuniere sauce on the plate and only put the smoked tomato tartar? Perhaps by calling it meuniere meant it was a sauce meant for fish and not a typical meuniere.
