If you use frozen okra, you will want to take them out of the freezer the night before or very early in the morning. Spread them out to thaw them, and let any frost on them melt and dry. If you got a late start, you can blot them off with paper towels after they are thawed, but be thorough or the oil will spatter violently when frying.
