  1. 1

    Prepare the Hushpuppies

    In a bowl, mix the hushpuppy mix with water until well combined. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

    In a deep frying pan or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

    Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper. Carefully place the fish in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Fry the shrimp in the same oil for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Fry the French Fries

    Cook the frozen French fries according to package instructions, typically around 3-5 minutes in the hot oil until crispy.

  6. 6

    Fry the Hushpuppies

    Drop spoonfuls of the hushpuppy batter into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
