Set over medium-high heat and bring to 400°F/205°C. Remove the pickles from their brine and cut lengthwise into quarters, like spears. Lay the spears on a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and pat them dry. Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish. In a separate dish, mix the corn meal and salt together. Dip each pickle, one at a time, first into the buttermilk, then into the corn meal and then repeat. Carefully place each spear into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. You can fry 3 to 4 pickles in the pot at a time. Adjust the heat, if necessary, in order to maintain a constant temperature of 400°F/205°C. Transfer the pickles to a cooling rack set inside a half sheet pan and allow to cool for 5 minutes before eating. Season with additional salt, if desired.
