Best brand of store bought hushpuppies
Posted on 4/19/16 at 8:43 pm

Any recommendations on a homemade style store bought hushpuppy? Frying fish for a bachelor party, doing the fries from scratch but I don't want to mess with a hushpuppy batter. Any good brands that can be found locally (BR)?
Also how many pounds of catfish filets for 16-18 guys who have been drinking all day?
Sorry for the 2 word title won't happen again.

That's what I bought (local caught). Getting some lip that it is too much.

Problem is drunk dudes will be snacking all day and by the time catfish is ready theyll be tired and ready to puke

Bow fishing Friday night so I am thinking we will start cooking right about when people roll out of bed around noon or more likely when we get back Friday night and have some cold nuggets for breakfast.

Dude, hush puppies are so easy to make. And way less messy than fish or French fries.
And they're only good when they're hot.
So, not sure you're going to find a store bought kind that is satisfactory.

Got a recipe? Normally I don't fool with them at all but the groom is a fan. If you can link a good easy recipe I will definitely consider it.

I like this with added diced jalapenos.
Jiffy
Oh and half a pound of fish per person is plenty. Add another pound to the total if you want to be safe.

Jiffy corn muffin mix, plus egg and milk. I'm pretty sure it's literally on the side of the box. If not jiffy, just look at the boxes/bags of cornmeal mix in the store. Look for a cornmeal "mix" not just plain cornmeal, keeps you from having to add flour, salt, etc.
The only trick is getting the consistency right. But follow the recipe and you'll be fine.
I like to add a chopped sweet onion to the batter, mmmm. Some people like jalapeño or corn.
It's one container. A spoonful straight into the fryer makes a hush puppy. Roll them one good time after its partially fried, till they're brown on both sides. You'll figure out the timing pretty quickly.

That definitely looks easy enough. I really haven't messed with anything but the frozen kind and they are always heavy and disappointing to me. I think I was picturing an old episode from Uncle Alton on Good Eats where he was talking about letting the batter rise and how to mix it right. I just didn't want to mess with something like that.

There's actually a hush puppy mix I found on the shelf that's about as easy as it gets. I like to add a can of corn in there and just fry until golden brown. A while ago I saw a recipe on a local fishing show that I wish I could remember. He basically had finely ground up speckled trout filets that he mixed into his hush puppy mix. Probably as easy as it sounds so I'm gonna try it out here soon.

They are easy. I won't say they are the best but they will be head and shoulders over anything frozen from the grocery store. They are a light and fluffy version of Hushpuppies.

Any chance you remember the name or where you picked it up at?

Fresh Pickens in Lafayette has some pretty damn good pre made jalapeño hush puppies. I know that doesn't do you much good in Baton Rouge, but just thought I'd pass it along in case you're ever in those parts.

I was going to mention the ones at Southside Produce. They're in a clear bag with no label as if they made them themselves, but they might even come from the same place as Fresh Pickins.
We have a Fresh Pickins on Coursey too.

I used to love Drusilla Brand Hush Puppy Mix but it is nowhere to be found these days even at the restaurant, I called them.

Bass pro has I think uncle Bucks HP mix. Tried it the other night and liked it.

The Only good store bought puppies have jalapeños in them.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I ended up picking up a couple of boxes of jiffy mix. So we will have at least 15lbs of catfish, 15lbs of potatoes for frying, and hush puppies. We will probably end up boiling at some point as well.
