Hey, Dataw finally put hushpuppies on the menu!

https://s29.postimg.org/yb8764byf/comfortfood.jpg

I filled out a couple of comments cards about the food at the Pub last
year. I wondered why they didn't offer hushpuppies with the fish &
chips. Maybe someone listened?

They'll be serving the hushpuppies with the cornmeal dusted crispy
shrimp listed under "Small Plates". I might just order it to see how
well they do. It's not as though they're difficult to make, I simply
can't be bothered with the mess of deep frying at home.

A yummy hushpuppy is a thing of beauty. Some are so darn good
a meal can be made out of them and nothing else. (Those days
are long gone!)

I wonder how far the nearest "fish camp" is from Beaufort? They take
the mess out of eating delicious low country seafood. You can make a
meal of Hush Puppies. If they bring them as an appetizer, I will eat
them until I'm too full for my fried Oysters and Shrimp.

Yes, really. Probably just their variation on cocktail sauce for the
shrimp. I decided not to go there for dinner.

Hushpuppies

(recipes are pretty much the same, here's a basic guide)

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
Oil for deep-fat frying

Combine the dry ingredients (course cornmeal is best for this). Whisk
together the milk, egg and minced onion. Stir the egg mixture into the
dry ingredients until you have a thick batter. Drop by teaspoonfuls
into deep hot oil and cook until golden brown. They'll float to the top
when they're done.
****
One old legend says some fishermen were trying to get their dogs to stop
whining for food while they were frying up their catch over a fire by a
river bank. They'd used cornmeal to make the fish batter. So one of
the men dropped some of the batter into the oil and cooked it, then
tossed it to the dogs saying, "Hush, puppies!"

There are a lot of legends about the origins of this very simple but
tasty food.

I do hope you try them. They're quite tasty and are usually served with
fish & chips. I'd much rather have extra hushpuppies than the chips.

Again from me about the Long John Silver's restos. I loved their
hushpuppies and always ordered extra ones.

The meal...
- 2 fish or chicken planks
- fries
- 2 hushpuppies?
- slaw?

I used to buy a few more... 10 cents each or something like that.

I've saved your recipe and will try them soon.

It's not my recipe, you can find similar all over the internet. They're
all pretty much the same in terms of basic ingredients. When I did make
them at home I'd add a dash or two of cayenne pepper to the dry mixture
because I like a bit of bite.

They're dead simple to make at home. I no longer deep fry food. The
problem with deep frying, aside from cleaning up grease splatter, is
where to store the used oil. It needs to be refrigerated unless you use
it a lot, otherwise it will go rancid. I don't have room in the fridge
to store used cooking oil which I might only use twice a year.

We got rid of our deep fryer after my heart surgery. Now we only deep
fry once or twice a year. I do it only with small amounts and just throw
out the used oil, or put it on the dogs supper a little at a time.

I'm set in my ways only because I don't eat a lot of fried foods. If I
did I would surely know how to store/use up the oil. But I don't so I
won't.

Thanks for that link. None of their restaurants very close to here but
still some in VaBeach. Just out of my normal range.

That one for 2-3 chicken planks with fries, coleslaw and 2 hushpuppies
is what I used to buy all the time. I love their chicken planks. I've
never tried their fish..

I don't worry about the little amount of grease splatters either. Just
clean your stovetop before using it again. No worries and easy wipe-up.

That's exactly what I do. I only deep fry maybe 2 times a year, maybe 3.
When I do, I do quite a bit for about a week, then I'm over it for
several months and I just toss the oil.

In addition to your list above, I'll sometimes add in onion rings and
chicken livers too. I do want to try battered sweet potato chunks too
but haven't so far. I loved those at a resturant.

Bandwidth is totally wasted these days now that everyone (but me) has
highspeed access.
I click on webpages these days that would have been a real fail 20 years
ago.
And just to see images (.jpg). No simple pics anymore, they all have to
be attached
to some long ass web page with ads and all the worthless extras.

I'm sure she doesn't care about a little wipe up, grease ruins
