BEER BATTERED FISH AIR FRYER RECIPES

Steps:

• Pat fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.  Place flour, egg, and panko in three shallow bowls. Add Old Bay to panko and toss to combine. Working one at a time, coat fish in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko, pressing to coat. Working in batches, place fish in basket of air fryer and cook at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes, gently flipping halfway through, or until fish is golden and flakes easily with a fork.  Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

Steps:

• Fill a heavy-duty 6-quart pot about one-third full with oil. Using a candy or frying thermometer, heat the oil to 350 to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, beer, and water, if needed. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.
• Pat the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (optional) to taste on both sides. lightly dust fish on both sides with flour making sure to lightly shake off any excess flour. This light coating helps the batter stick to the fish.
• One at a time, dip two of the fillets in the batter and turn to coat well. Allow excess batter to drip off. Gently add the fillets to the oil, placing the fish into the oil with the end your holding facing away from you so that any oil splashes will land behind the pot and not on you.
• Fry the fish until crisp, turning once with tongs or a slotted spoon about half-way through the cooking time, about 5 to 7 minutes total.
• Transfer the fillets to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and then transfer to the baking sheet in a 225 degree F oven to keep warm. Let the oil return to 350 to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve the fish with chips, tartar sauce, lemon wedges, mushy peas, and malt vinegar.
