Has anyone eaten fried Okra before? It's been many years since I've seen it available here and I ate a bunch yesterday. Have you ever tried it?

I tried it once upon a time. It tasted like fried snot and I never ate it again. My tongue lived happily ever after. The end. I think the real question is, did you enjoy it?

I eat it as often as I can, I love it, my wife hates it, and I see it everywhere, but I'm working in the Carloinas where it is popular.

I dated a guy in high school whose mother made the best fried okra! She had some trick to keep it from getting slimy. I have never had any that good since. I wish I could remember what her trick was, because i might attempt t make my own if I could.

Wife says you have to parboil it before putting the batter on, and then fry. (guess you have to know how long to boil so the center remains crisp)

I found these two tricks online.

A trick for reducing sliminess is to soak the okra in vinegar for half an hour before cooking it. Rinse it and pat dry before cooking. Or, you can pre-cook okra at very high heat by sautéing, roasting, blanching or grilling. Then add cooked okra to your recipe and there will be hardly any slime at all.

There was a third trick if you are using frozen okra, cut it while it is still frozen.
