Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish

I am from Boston, where we had fish on every Friday; obviously, I grew up in an Italian Catholic household, in case any of you are thinking me too. Fridays were always reserved for fish. My mother would usually pick up a cod or haddock, depending on what was on sale. Today, I made my mom’s Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish recipe, using cod, but other white fishes would work perfectly here.

I used beer for the batter, and it was light and crispy, it didn’t look the priettiest, but it was really, really good. So, I am going to post, it and next time I make it, I’ll work ong the pictures. But, I want you to have this recipe, becuase it was so good.

If you have never had beer-battered fish, it’s really light, crispy and you air fry it until it’s golden brown and crispy. It is usually served with french fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce.

This is a real old fashioned recipe, that has amazing flavor. It is typically served with cod, but you can change it out for any white fish, my favorites (being from Boston) are Cod.

What Is Beer Batter?

It is a wet batter that is made from beer. I used a beer my husband had on hand, but the best beer is stout, but use whatever you like to drink, because you can taste it slightly in the batter.
