Hushpuppies are golden, deep-fried cornmeal balls or fritters, typically flavored with onion and buttermilk, and served as a side dish in Southern cuisine. Crisp on the outside and tender inside, they’re most commonly paired with fried fish, barbecue, or shrimp. Believed to have originated in the Carolinas or Georgia, the name “hushpuppies” is said to come from hunters or cooks tossing bits of fried dough to quiet barking dogs. Their savory flavor and crunchy texture make them a nostalgic favorite at seafood shacks and Southern-style restaurants.
