Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast

Deep fried pickles are indeed available in NYC at The Hog Pit in what's left of the meatpacking district. Well, they are available at least until Dec. 31st, when the Hog Pit will close, to replaced by Mark Montana...sigh.

Eating out in NYC with 1 year old?

My first thought is, "don't", but I know you must, so...try Dos Caminos on Park Avenue South. Good Mexican food in a substantial venue. You, and the nino should be okay.

The best fried pickles i've had come from Muddy River BBQ in Portsmouth, NH! They use a beer batter that's amazing, the pickles have a nice sour taste and they serve them with a delicious spicy dipping sauce, YUM!
they also have a Muddy River BBQ in Maine as well for all you north east vacationers and foodies!

In Florida -- the Gator's Dockside in Lake Mary, FL, just added a basked of fried kosher dills to their menu. They were about 2-inch rounds, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick, fried quickly in a flavorful batter and still crisp inside, served with a cup of ranch dressing. We really enjoyed them, even if they sat a bit heavy afterward. But they were the highlight of the meal, and went wonderful with a pitcher of Yuengling...the dill flavor lasted quite a while on the palate.

Gator's Dockside also has EXCELLENT chicken wings, cooked dry-fried, batter-fried, or grilled, and tossed in a variety of sauces. Service is par for the course for a neighborhood sports bar.

Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio, offers their original pickles and peppers deep fried, with an assortment of dips (ranch, salsa, or spicy ketchup). The pickles are a spicy dill, but personally, I'd rather eat the fried pepper pieces and leave the fried pickles to my dinner companions!

My first time (with fried pickles) was at the Crazy Horse Saloon in Nashville, TN. The ones at Cheeseburger in Paradise can't match them!

Truly easy to make and totally worth heating up the fryer. I worked at Cane Creek Seafood in Hattiesburg, MS in the 90's and we went through tons of these. Simply drain dil hamburger chips, dredge in mixture of equal parts corn flour and finely ground corn meal, shake off excess, and fry until light golden brown. This produces a "frickle" that is not overly thick with breading.

In Vancouver BC [yes, yes, it's nowhere close to the east coast...]

Mr. Pickwick's Fish and Chips on Denman street does gorgeous deep fried dill spears to go with their delicious and rather posh take on F&C.
