A quick web-search verifies that E-fields most assuredly CAN exist in
conductive electrolytes. for both DC and AC conditions.
Electric fields in an electrolyte solution near a strip of fixed potential

Excerpt from Abstract:
"Electrostatic fields produced by flat electrodes are often used to
manipulate particles in solution. To study the field produced by such an
electrode, we consider the problem of an infinite strip of width 2a with
imposed constant potential immersed in an electrolyte solution."

I was going to include some piccys, but even though black-n-white, they were
too large.
There was one figure which shows the visual manifestations photographed from
the experiments, with the theoretical model of the E-flds (on the right).
It was very clear that fields were present in the electrolyte, as one could
see the manifestations of the field-lines in the photographs taken of the
area above the electrodes. Electrolyte concentrations varied from 0.02 to
0.08M KCl. I believe LENR typically uses 0.1M, so just slightly more
conductive than this reference. Now, this experiment was done using AC,
100Hz to 10000 Hz.
