About Fast foods, hush puppies

Hush puppies are small balls of seasoned cornmeal batter, deep-fried until crisp and golden — the classic Southern side served alongside fried fish and seafood. They're essentially fried cornbread, built around cornmeal and frying oil rather than any meat or vegetable.

Per 100 grams they provide about 296 calories, with 40.2 grams of carbohydrate, 13.3 grams of fat and 6.2 grams of protein. Sugars are about 3.8 grams, fiber around 2.9 grams, and they carry essentially no cholesterol since they're plant-based. Sodium is high at roughly 1,085 milligrams per 100 grams from the seasoned batter.

As a deep-fried cornmeal side, hush puppies are mostly refined carbohydrate and oil, with salt as the figure to watch. They make a tasty accompaniment to a seafood meal, but they're an indulgence rather than a nutritious side — a small serving goes a long way, and pairing them with vegetables or coleslaw rounds out an otherwise fried plate.
