Fish and Chips in the Air Fryer
You will love this recipe because who doesn’t love crispy foods and a dipping sauce. This is one of my father’s favorite foods that he immensely enjoys, and he likes it even better when the method of cooking is air frying. This is a great recipe for a busy weeknight meal, having friends over for a fish “air fry” party or a hearty lunch during the week. These are wonderful as a main dish, appetizers or a snack after a hectic day.

How to Make Fish and Chips in the Air Fryer:
Optional Favorite Dipping Sauce: Tartar sauce, lemon wedges, sweet chili sauce, ketchup or lemon slices with malt vinegar. Cooking Tips: Place a piece of parchment paper in air fryer basket this will ensure fish does not stick and make for easier clean up. Substitutions: Use tapioca flour, almond flour, cassava flour, gluten-free flour and coconut flour in place of all-purpose flour. I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cook time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
What can I serve with these fish?
The two most common sides to serve with this fish are crispy french fries or potato chips. A few fun sides are crunchy zucchini chips, asparagus fries or sweet potato fries. Broccolini, smashed potatoes and cauliflower will taste amazing with this moist fish.
Can I store leftover fish?
Allow fish to completely cool prior to storing. Store in an airtight container or resealable storage bag in your refrigerator for up to 4 days. Wrap fish in plastic wrap and then place in an air-tight container in your freezer for up to 2 months.
Are there other fishes I can use?
If you cannot find cod to make this dish there are other types, you can use. White fishes that will be great substitutions for cod are halibut, red snapper, haddock, strips of swordfish or frozen fish fillets. When choosing a fish make sure it is a firm, denser fish because it will stay in one piece through dredging and cooking process.
Is this dish easy to prepare ahead of time?
Yes, it makes for easier meal prep because you can cut fish into strips and dry them, placing them on a covered cookie sheet in your refrigerator to pull out when it is time to cook. The flour mixed with seasonings and breadcrumb mixture can also be prepared ahead in bowls or plastic bags so all that needs to be done is crack and whisk an egg and you’re ready to make this tasty meal.
