When I was a kid, my dad would take me fishing at one of the fresh

catfish. They were the best hp's I've ever had, and I've not been able

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!

You mean they're not shoes from the 60s?? or is this your joke about
boil catfish with & shoe for 2 hours; add salt, then eat the shoe??

Karen, there is the south, and then there is the deep south. Virginia is
the
south. Alabama is the deep south. You are in the deep, deep south.
Obviously you
haven't dined on the best the deep south has to offer -- fried catfish and
hushpuppies, with a little cole slaw thrown in to satisfy mama's need for
a
veggie.

I am a California boy and hated coleslaw until I went to the South. Instead
of mayonnaise they fix it with a sugar and vinegar dressing. Probably black
strap molasses for the sugar.
