I don't know about Doug's recipe, but for a store bought mix, I
strongly suggest 'House of Autry'. It's excellent by itself, but I
like to add some chopped jalapeno's. Their seafood breading mix is
also very good. It's light and doesn't change the taste of fish
from being overloaded with spices like other brands.

If you do try 'House of Autry' hush puppy mix, I suggest you back
off a wee bit from their suggestion of how much water to add. If you
don't, it can be a bit to runny and is hard to get a decent shape on
them as you scoop them into the oil. Since they cook so quick, you
can snack on them as you're working hard at that fish-fry. :^)

I understand your 'boo'boo' for not getting that recipe from your
mom, but I was wondering if you had any old cookbooks of hers or if
another family member might. It's just possible she wrote that
recipe down before she had it committed to memory.

When I was a kid, my dad would take me fishing at one of the fresh water lakes
in Puerto Rico. We would catch a washtub full of catfish and have a fish fry for
the neighborhood that afternoon. My mother would fix hush puppies to go with the
catfish. They were the best hp's I've ever had, and I've not been able to
duplicate them. I can't even come close!

Question: Who has a fantastic hush puppy recipe? Next, what is the recipe. My
mom died several years ago, and one of my biggest boo-boos was my failure to get
that recipe.

Help!
