Let's talk fried pickles

Fried pickles dipped in ranch. Maybe my favorite food to munch on while at the bar having some drinks. Has to be the 'chips' as opposed to the spears. In my experience, the breading doesn't stick to the spear, and it all comes off when you take a bite.
I find that most places fried pickles are a bit too salty, and I like salty foods. I think you need to use a completely separate breading than for tenders, wings, etc., that has less salt.

Seasoned cornmeal/flour mix, hit it with a little fresh chopped dill and a side of herbed aioli... boom.

Those look nice.
Fried Pickles are one of my favorite bar foods.
Fried Pickles
Fried Mushrooms
Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried Red Tomatoes
Fried Onion Rings
Fries
All of these served together on a plate at (Old) George Street Grocery in J-Town was an iconic bar treat (Frank's Famous Fried Plate). Served with Hickory Smoked (With liquid smoke) ketchup, a spicy mayo and ketchup based come back sauce with hot mustard and all the cold beer you could drink for only ($ price varied by how many beers you drank).
Their burger was pretty good too, but that would be thread hijacking.
Occasionally I make them at home:
Dry the slices thoroughly, make a thin batter with buttermilk, seasoned flour and a touch of corn starch and fry. Drain, not on paper towels, but on that rack everyone recommends.
However, my favorite fried pickles are usually at some dive.
Thank goodness, I know lots of dives.

Yes to no spears. Like you said, breading just falls off. Kind of pointless IMO
Most of the pickle chips I've had are way too salty. I've found very few places that do it right where I can eat them without drinking a gallon of water

Or having to submerge them in ranch to balance out the saltiness.
I also find that the breading on fried pickles holds up a little longer than on many other fried foods. They are still crunchy hours later.

And writing your name in the ice at the bottom of the urinal with your pen.
I made their garlic spinach last night. Good stuff
And for pickles I prefer cornmeal.

Fried Pickles used to be on the top of my list... until fried banana pepper came along at my local BBQ hole....
And I can never pass up fried avocado @ Gattuso's when I'm back home.

Pickled? Banana pepper by itself isn't very flavorful.

Best pot roast poboy in the area.

Cornmeal on pickles is the way to go. More crunch and the breading adheres really well.

A few years back, the company I worked for had a joint venture with a company half way between Lexington and Knoxville. The guy from that company I worked with was a huge bar drinker guy and I discovered fried (pickled) Banana peppers. Have never seen them anywhere other than central KY. He said they sold the pickled peppers (deseeded and sliced into big strips), in gallon jars and just breaded and fried them.
Wonderful bar food with a beer.
I have never seen a gallon jar of sliced pickled banana peppers anywhere. Have no idea where they bought them, but had the fried peppers in five or six different Kentucky bars.

Love some fried pickles. Texas Roadhouse, of all places, has amazing fried pickles.
