I've had fried pickles at lots of places. Both the coins and the spears. (I
prefer the coins; with the spears, the coating seems to pull off in one
piece when you bite into each spear. Plus, you get more coating per pickle
ratio with the coins.) Good stuff, especially when paired with a BBQ ranch
or chipotle ranch dipping sauce.

This is the first time I've heard of cusabi, though...
