A deep-fried fritter made with a batter usually consisting of cornmeal, milk, eggs, onions, and seasonings. Hush puppies are a popular dish in the southern United States. They get their name from southern fish fries where the aroma of the cooking fish would cause the dogs to bark. In order to quiet the dogs, the corn fritters were given to them to hush them.
