What kind of dipping sauces are most common for fried okra? I'm all about the condiments!! :)
I've never heard of a dipping sauce. I like them salted, that's it. Don't want to overpower the natural taste. I think some people in different regions add vinegar, or a roumelade (sp?). The mayo based condiment on Po Boys. Not sure.

I was thinking of them as an appetizer, but after seeing your pic, fried okra looks like it's more of a side dish.

Yes, you're right. It can be both. Mostly the fancy dining establishments here in Birmingham that put it on the menu. Frank Stitt's place (friend to the late Pat Conroy) for example. Otherwise, a bunch of meat and three joints.
