Hush puppies are an ideal classic Southern side dish that typically goes well with many types of seafood, especially fish.  However, they can also be served alongside other proteins, like fried chicken or barbeque pork.   Additionally, they can provide a crunchy contrast to creamy dishes like coleslaw or macaroni and cheese.  Vegetables such as grilled corn or sautéed okra can also offer a flavorful compliment to hush puppies.  For an even heartier meal, adding steak or sausage links is a great option.  Lastly, no Southern meal would be complete without some type of sweet accompaniment. Fresh fruit cobbler is the perfect way to finish off your plate of hush puppies!
