In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2-inches of oil to 350 °F.

Put the flour and a dash of salt and pepper in a small bowl, the beaten eggs in another bowl, and the cornmeal with a dash of salt and pepper in a third bowl. Dredge the pickles in the flour, then the egg, and then the cornmeal. In batches, carefully lower the pickles into the oil and fry for 3 minutes.
