  • About

According to legend, hush puppies were devised by hunters in the South, who would throw an occasional fritter to their hunting dogs to keep them quiet. These hot, crisp little bites blend cornmeal with crabmeat for an elegant appetizer. They are best served with your favorite mayonnaise-based sauce, such as tartar sauce or garlic aioli, for dipping.
