I saw fried pickles on a Food Network show about food trucks in New York. One of them, Jen and Outlaws , was serving southern US traditional fare. I was surprised to see friend pickles, I’ve never heard of the idea before. It sounded pretty good with buttermilk and crispy coating on them.
This recipe from the Bick’s Pickles site isn’t the same but I didn’t see a recipe for the other:
