Durham's Best Hushpuppies Compared | Durham News

A taste test across Durham reveals four hushpuppy powerhouses—Jean’s By The Sea, Saltbox Seafood Joint, Bullock’s Bar-B-Cue, and Cook Out—each offering a wildly different take on the classic cornmeal fritter. Jean’s delivers airy, sweet bites with maple butter; Saltbox ups the ante with honey and lemon-pepper-fennel seasoning; Bullock’s serves up savory, onion-speckled comfort food; and Cook Out’s dense, dry version barely passes muster without sauce. The winner? It’s subjective—sweet, savory, or seasoned, the Triangle’s hushpuppy scene proves there’s no one-size-fits-all, just four deliciously distinct options.
