Dive into the delightful world of British cuisine with this scrumptious Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish recipe. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, this dish brings the classic flavours of a seaside chippy right to your kitchen, minus the excess oil.
Start by preparing your batter: combine seasoned flour with a splash of your favourite beer, whisking until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency. The carbonation in the beer is key, lending the batter that light, airy texture. Next, take fresh fillets of cod or haddock and coat them in seasoned flour before dipping them into the beer batter.
Preheat your air fryer, then carefully place the battered fish inside, ensuring they aren't overcrowded for an even cook. Air fry at a temperature of 200°C (about 400°F) for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through for a golden finish. The result? Indulgent fish that’s impossibly crispy without the need to deep-fry.
Serve with a side of chunky chips and a dollop of tartar sauce, or for a lighter option, a crisp green salad. This lovely take on a classic not only satisfies your cravings but also offers a healthier twist to a beloved British dish. Enjoy your culinary adventure with every bite!
