A hush puppy is a traditional Southern American side dish made from a cornmeal-based batter that's seasoned with ingredients like salt, pepper, and sometimes onion or garlic. The mixture is shaped into small balls or oval shapes and deep-fried to golden perfection, giving it a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. Hush puppies pair well with seafood dishes, especially fried fish, and are a staple in Southern cuisine, with origins tied to Native American and African culinary influences. While they offer a delightful crunch and rich flavor, hush puppies are calorie-dense and high in fat due to the frying process. They provide some nutrients from cornmeal, such as fiber and B vitamins, but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
