Mama's Fried Fish and Hushpuppies
“My mother came from Eastern North Carolina, and loved frying fish. She never used flour, eggs, or any type of batter for the fish - just cornmeal, salt, and pepper.

“I have tried to duplicate her method to the best of my memory. I don't do a lot of frying anymore, but this recipe is well worth it.
She would make hushpuppies with the leftover cornmeal, having no waste at all.“
