For extra crispy pickles, double dredge them: dip in buttermilk, then cornmeal, then back in buttermilk, and finally back in cornmeal before frying. Make sure the oil temperature is consistent to ensure even cooking and prevent soggy pickles. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning in the dipping sauce according to your spice preference. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Pickles: Line a plate with parchment paper; set aside. In a shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add the pickle slices and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Dredge the Pickles: In a large, resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, and seafood seasoning. Seal the bag and shake to combine. Add the pickles, a few at a time, shaking gently to evenly coat them with the cornmeal mixture. Remove the coated pickles and place them on the prepared plate. (10 minutes)
03 Step

Fry for 1-2 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a still-moist interior. Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining pickles. (10-15 minutes)
