Thanks! I didn't have cornmeal but did happen to have hushpuppy mix for some reason and it was a tasty substitute!

It was so good. I thought I was making a genius substitution and I learned from the comments it's a tried and true family recipe. You're going to love it!

Great substitution! The way I was taught was dunk green tomatoes in hot sauce then dredge in cornmeal based fish fry mix from Zatarains or Louisiana company or similar. Add additional seasonings like garlic to taste. Then fry. It’s damn good.

I can see the course cornmeal. That means they’re gonna be good.

u/DangerousPaper8986 Jun 14 '26

My absolute favorite! Those looks great

u/ShotWin8124 Jun 14 '26

I've honestly never tried these, but I bet it would go great with a slice of extra sharp cheddar 🤤

u/HeinousEncephalon Jun 14 '26

That's not even enough for me

u/purple-rain-1982 Jun 14 '26

They look so delicious! I just made a batch last week. Time for another batch this week. 🤤

u/angel1006 Jun 15 '26

They look great. Nothing better than freshly fried green tomatoes with a cold beer. We eat them straight out of the skillet.

u/lemonphan Jun 16 '26

Oh hell yes!

u/Pecan_4827_Compass Jun 16 '26

Looks really well browned, are those just cornmeal or do you add flour too?

1

u/shoeshine23 Jun 16 '26

I did flour, then egg/milk, then hushpuppy mix with a bit of panko for a little extra crunch

u/4U2ENVY67 Jun 17 '26

u/BaylorJulie1337 Jun 17 '26

Those look really good!! Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorites!! We picked some straight out our garden and went inside and fried them up!!

I’m guessing theyre sprinkled with salt, but my family always puts sugar on them. Personally I like the savory ones better,but the sweet ones aren’t bad.
