At our fish fries we usually just used the extra corn meal dredge, and mixed it with the left over egg wash until it made a formable dough. Then mix in some diced onions and jalapenos. Form them into balls and drop them in the fryer. Doesn't get any easier than that.

These are what I make with fired fish, salmon croquettes, crab cakes, etc.

Jalapeno Hush Puppies

Ingredients
1 cup self-rising flour
1 pkg. Zatarains
1/2 cup diced onion
1 (7-ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers, drained or 3/4 cup fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
1 (15-ounce) can creamed corn
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Using a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, Zatarains, onion, jalapeno, corn and eggs until blended.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Allow to stand 5 minutes.
4. Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd; leave room for the hushpuppies to be turned.
5. Cook the hushpuppies until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
6. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels.
7. Keep the cooked hushpuppies warm in an oven while cooking the remaining meal.

This is an excellent spicy ketchup.
