Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Beer Battered Fish Fillets (e.g., Gorton's brand)
  • Food thermometer
  • Ingredients for fish tacos (optional)
  • Burger buns and toppings (optional)
  • Fries and tartar sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Arrange the frozen beer-battered fish fillets in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
  2. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Flip the fish fillets halfway through the cooking time (at the 5-minute mark) to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
  4. After 10 minutes, check the internal temperature of the fish using a food thermometer. It should reach a minimum of 145°F (63°C) for safety.
  5. This cooking time and temperature is a fantastic starting point for most frozen fish fillets and can be adjusted slightly based on your specific air fryer model.
  6. Once perfectly cooked and crispy, serve immediately as delicious fish tacos, satisfying fish sandwiches, or classic fish and chips!

Notes

- Ensure fillets are in a single layer in the air fryer basket for optimal crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time by a minute or two based on fillet thickness and your specific air fryer model.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the fillets with cooking oil before air frying.
