Creative fried fare like fried pickles, fried ravioli, and deep-fried Oreos are now ogled by hungry Americans at state fairs and food truck rodeos across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But which novelty fried foods are Americans most curious to try? We turned to Google Trends to find out, analyzing the search volume of 70 popular fried food items (both savory and sweet) to uncover which fried foods residents in each state are drooling over most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Google Trends, Shane Co. analyzed the search volume of 70 state fair-style fried foods over the past 12 months to determine the most searched fried food in each state and nationwide. Referencing Food Network, Southern Living, and Taste of Home, our list of search terms included 48 popular savory fried foods and 22 popular sweet fried foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every State\u2019s Favorite Savory Fried Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"1851\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1.png\" alt=\"U.S map plotting each state's favorite savory fried food\" class=\"wp-image-7192 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1.png 801w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1-130x300.png 130w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1-166x384.png 166w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1-768x1775.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1-665x1536.png 665w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1-380x878.png 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_1_StateMapSavory-1-800x1849.png 800w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/1851;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A state or county fair is the perfect time to indulge in that savory, greasy crunch of fried food. From seafood and meat to vegetables and cheese, there aren\u2019t many food groups Americans won\u2019t fry!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some regions, different types of fried seafood are what Americans are Googling most. Fried calamari, most searched in Connecticut and Rhode Island, is one of America\u2019s favorite bar appetizers, while fried cod lands on top in Kentucky. The South is notorious for frying its seafood, so it\u2019s no surprise that fried catfish is searched most in the deep Southern states of Louisiana and Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other local foods that are most popular in their states include North Carolina\u2019s favorite, hushpuppies, a delicious fried snack the size of a golf ball that\u2019s perfect for dipping in yummy sauces. Another popular local dish is chicharrones, a fried pork dish, in New Mexico. Lastly, South Dakota\u2019s most searched fried food is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dakotanewsnow.com\/content\/news\/Have-you-ever-wondered-What-is-the-history-of-chislic-in-South-Dakota-480733801.html\">chislic<\/a>, a skewered red meat dish including deep-fried cubes of lamb, beef, or venison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every State\u2019s Favorite Sweet Fried Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"1958\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1.png\" alt=\"U.S map plotting each state's favorite sweet fried food\" class=\"wp-image-7195 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1.png 801w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1-123x300.png 123w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1-157x384.png 157w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1-768x1877.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1-628x1536.png 628w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1-380x929.png 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_2_StateMapSweet-1-800x1956.png 800w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/1958;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of your favorite desserts like ice cream, cheesecake, donuts, and pies. Is your mouth watering yet? Now, imagine throwing them into a deep fryer! It\u2019s a dangerously delicious combination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever heard of a cronut? We haven\u2019t either, but it\u2019s the top-searched fried food in three states! A cronut is a flaky, buttery, croissant-donut hybrid with a delicious glaze, invented in 2013 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dominiqueanselny.com\/\">Ansel\u2019s bakery<\/a> in New York. Cronuts are not only New York\u2019s most popular fried food, but they have also gained fame in Arkansas and Colorado, according to Google searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington D.C.\u2019s most popular sweet fried food is latkes \u2014 a traditional Jewish potato pancake typically enjoyed around Hanukkah and best served with apple jam or creme fraiche. Several popular restaurants in our nation\u2019s capital offer latkes as a must-try dish, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.callyourmotherdeli.com\/\">Call Your Mother Deli<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buffalobergendc.com\/\">Buffalo & Bergen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come fall, Americans agree that apples are best when they\u2019re fried. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/apple-fritter\/\">Apple fritters<\/a> are a popular Northern dessert, most searched in five states \u2014 Maine, Michigan, Montana, Oregon, and Vermont.

Classic french fries and onion rings are the most popular savory fried foods in the U.S., both most popular in five states. Americans bank on these staple sides at ballparks, hot dog joints, and dive bars alike. French fries are most popular in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington, while onion rings are most popular in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fried chicken is ubiquitous in the South, so we were surprised to see that the fried bird was most searched in California, Maryland, New York, and Virginia. California and New York are known for their gourmet food, and fried chicken is no exception.

Fried avocado tacos, specifically, are most searched in two largely populated states \u2014 Colorado and Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Most Popular Sweet Fried Foods Overall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"1332\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1.png\" alt=\"A chart displaying the most popular sweet fried food in the U.S.\" class=\"wp-image-7197 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1.png 801w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1-180x300.png 180w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1-231x384.png 231w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1-768x1277.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1-380x632.png 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ShaneCo_FriedFoods_4_SweetCountOfState-1-800x1330.png 800w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/1332;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep-fried Oreos, funnel cake, and churros are common high-calorie menu items at your local fair. The hardest part is figuring out which one to indulge in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular fair foods of all time is deep-fried Oreos. Americans have fallen in love with these chocolatey, gooey bites, usually paired with powdered sugar or frosting drizzle. Deep-fried Oreos are most searched in a whopping nine states, including Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fried ice cream and Long Johns follow as the second most popular fried sweets in the U.S., both most searched in six states. A genius invention, fried ice cream consists of frozen ice cream covered in fried batter and typically paired with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup. It\u2019s most popular in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
