A-freaking-mazing. I prefer spears to pickle chips, chips are too salty/too much batter while a well done fried pickle spear is just perfect ratio of pickle and fried . We used to live in SC and there was a place that had perfected them, they were slightly spicy too, mmmm.
I live in Missouri and here Captain D's has the fried pickle chips. The only place I've found the fried spears at was a mom n pop place in my small town.
