Before I had ever tried my first fried pickle, yes, my head couldn’t comprehend this would be something I would enjoy.

If you like fried zucchini, you will like fried pickles. Think about it cucumbers and zucchini’s are distant cousins in the food chain. Unlike fried zucchini, fried pickles pack way way more flavor before you even dip it into the ranch!
