Earlier this month I posted a [poll](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/4550) asking what I should deep fry. Calabash style shrimp did not win, but screw that; I made it anyway. And hushpuppies. The shrimp tasted pretty much like I remember fried shrimp tasting when I was growing up in North Carolina. I recall hushpuppies having more of a oniony flavor, though (I just ordered some hushpuppy mix from the internet). Next time I think I’ll try adding a bit of onion powder to the mix.
