Wipe off portobello mushrooms; cut off stems; slice into 1/4 inch slices.
Heat several inches of oil to 340 degrees in a deep pot, using a thermometer for accuracy.
Meanwhile, mix buttermilk, flour and salt together to make a batter, having the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
When oil is hot, coat mushrooms in batter; shake off excess; carefully fry, in batches, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to flip mushrooms over in the oil a several times.
Remove mushrooms from oil; drain on paper towels.
Serve with Lemonnaise, for dipping.
Lemonnaise:
Whisk mayonnaise and lemon juice together until smooth; add a pinch of salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. The sauce will be somewhat thin.
