Cut the dill pickles in slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

In a small bowl mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the pickles, reserving half for the flour.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, beer and hot sauce. Add the reserved spices. Mix well to form a batter.

Dip the pickle slices in batter and quickly fry in grease at 375°F until the pickles float to the top, approximately 4 minutes.

Serve with your favorite beverage. Beer is a good accompaniment to these appetizers.
