Add some jalapeno hushpuppies, and its time to eat!

Cruel, cruel, cruel.
That is awesome looking even after a great Prime Ribeye, baked potato and garlic bread dinner.
Thank God that catfish wasn't dipped in a fryer after the smoke with a little panko crunch on the outside else I would have had teeth marks in the screen...  I could just barely resist as it is.

Wow! seafood is my all time favourite, and that shrimp is really tormenting me! The catfish also looks delicious!

Looks...awesome...dang...hush puppies...haven't thought about them in years!!! I love them and they look perfect with the meal!!  :)

Please tell me more about the hushpuppies, i've never had them, not even when i've been in the states  :-\

Had a pair of casual boots once, they were called Hush Puppies:

Anyway, the edible ones sound interesting, so i'd like to make some, if anybody has a nice recipe i'd appreciate it.

Good work WTS.....Now Gizmo feels the pain , many times he starved me on a nightly basis...I had to read post with only my bad eye just so the pics would be fuzzy. Otherwise I'd drool all night. :D ;D

Looks like a great little feast !

I usually just cheat and buy some Bass pro shops pre mix and dice up some jalapenos and mix into it, but homemade pups are easy

1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg beaten

Mix together to form a batter, then drop about a tsp at a time into hot oil cook until golden brown.

WTS,
Those shrimp and catfish look awesome but where da chopped green onions in your hushpuppy recipe?  Don't leave out an important ingredient! ;)

Onion and/or corn is good in the hushpuppies.

Dang, ya'll are making me hungry again and I had fried catfish fillets for lunch!  I've got about 15 lbs of head on shrimp in the freezer.  Looks like I'll be smoking a big ol' batch this weekend.  Probably boil some up too. 

Save the shells and heads to make shrimp stock to go in a gumbo.

Thanks for the reminder WTS.

Hey WTS...self rising cornmeal? Are you talking like Jiffy cornbread/muffin mix? I might add.... about 45 cents per box of absolutely the best (added) jalepeno corn muffin mixture you would ever put in your mouth!!! I make a bunch of those mini muffies...freeze them and mix them in at Thanksgiving for stuffing...killer with a smoked turkey...  :)
