Techniques

  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
Mix three quarters of a cup of cornmeal, half a cup of flour, two tablespoons of sugar and about a teaspoon and a half of baking powder, with no lumps.

Building the hush puppy batter
  • 1 tsp BFF
Add about a teaspoon of seasoning to the dry ingredients, add the wet and mix to a dippable pancake-like batter, thinner than for hush puppies; let it rest.
  • 6 oz non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 3 tbsp diced dill pickle
  • lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, SPG
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire
For the tartar sauce, mix about six ounces of non-fat Greek yogurt, a big tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, about three tablespoons of diced dill pickle, a little lemon juice, salt, pepper, SPG and about half a teaspoon of Worcestershire; add more lemon to thin.
  • cod
Cut the cod into strips.
Cutting the cod
  • all-purpose flour
  • BFF
  • cornmeal
  • 1 tsp Creole seasoning
  • oil
Mix all-purpose flour with a little seasoning, a little more cornmeal and about a teaspoon of Creole seasoning; dredge the fish so the wet batter sticks.
Dredging in seasoned flour
Coat each piece in the batter and lower one at a time into the fryer, keeping them from sticking to each other; fry about two and a half to three minutes.
Let them drip and drain on paper towels; serve with tartar sauce.
