Hush puppies are a classic Southern side dish that are perfect for any occasion, from a casual family dinner to a backyard barbecue. These golden, crispy cornmeal fritters are said to have originated in the South, where they were often served alongside fried fish. The story goes that they got their name because cooks would toss them to dogs to ‘hush the puppies’ during fish fries. Whether or not that’s true, what I do know is that they’re delicious and surprisingly easy to make. If you’re looking to bring a taste of the South to your table, these hush puppies are a must-try.
Hush puppies are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of dishes. They’re a natural sidekick to fried catfish or shrimp, but they also complement grilled meats like chicken or pork. For a classic Southern meal, serve them with coleslaw and baked beans. If you’re feeling adventurous, try them with a spicy remoulade sauce for dipping. They’re also great on their own as a snack or appetizer.
