I’ve lived along a lot of the east coast, south of DC. Yeah, that’s southern mostly, but I would say fried fish is not only a southern thing. Hell, it’s a British thing too. Fried chicken, and everything else, is southern, but I’ve seen fried fish all over, wherever fish is common.
I don’t know if I’d call it the American style, but it’s common. The issue is America is a bunch of states. It’s like if you tried to combine all the states in the EU to one style.
I think fried is becoming less common in the US though. It definitely isn’t my preference, and I think that’s increasingly true as time goes on.

No deepfrying?

Deepfrying is for fast food restaurants.

Sure, but if we had to pick one, I’d say microwave. Deepfry is enjoyed by all, but mostly a southern thing.
