Red seafood sauce, also known as cocktail sauce is available in dozens of varieties. It is a rather simple sauce, the base of which is typically ketchup and horseradish. In many parts of Europe mayonnaise is added making it reminiscent of American fry sauce. Another popular variation involves adding chili sauce to the blend or using it instead of ketchup.

Cocktail sauce is most commonly used for dipping shrimp. It is a staple of shrimp cocktails and is usually served with breaded fried shrimp as well. Red seafood sauce also compliments other breaded fried seafood such as scallops, calamari and clams. Fine oyster bars serve the sauce with raw oysters and many allow customers to mix their own.

Lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce are used to give seafood sauce a bit more tang. In the U.S. cocktail sauce ingredients vary widely by region. In the South it will be ignorant and have a Cajun flair, just like the people there. Ostentatious New Englanders add sherry to seafood sauce, not because it adds a nice flavor, just because they can.
