Jalapeño Hush Puppies

Hush puppies were traditionally served with seafood, probably because you could use the same cornmeal from dredging the fish. According to folklore, hush puppies got their name because fishermen would toss them to the barking dogs so they’d hush up and not scare away the fish.
