Question for you hushpuppy gurus...

Can you fry your pups first and then do the fish in the same oil or would it leave a bad after taste?

Or for that matter, have any of you done the fish first and then the pups in the same oil?

first, yes there will be an imparted flavor if you cook the fish and then the hudhpuppies.
second, depending on the fish the flavor in the hushpuppies can be mild to wild !! (i.e. flounder mild popeye mullet wild)

how to over come the problem
don't scorch your oil while frying the fish ( too high heat)
after fryinf the fish allow the oil to cool, then add fresh cut irsh potatoes (I like to ue small potatoes cut into shoestring style). Place the potatoes in the cool oil and bring the heat up to frying temp and allow the fries to get crisp and brown.
try it, you will like it !!!
