This guilt-free air fryer fish and chips recipe offers the classic flavours you love without the need for deep frying. With minimal oil and maximum flavour, this quick and easy meal is perfect for busy families. Enjoy crispy fish paired with golden fries in minutes, all while making a healthier choice!
Honestly, you won’t believe how well this turns out with the crisp crumb on the outside of the fish. In Northern Ireland, we put gravy on our chips so for me this is unbeatable with mushy peas, tartare sauce and a tub of gravy on the side.

Method
Step 1
Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and salt it generously. This will help prevent it falling apart during cooking. Place the flour, egg and crushed crisps into three separate bowls.
Step 2
Dunk the fillets first in flour, then into the beaten egg, then finally into the crisp crumb to coat. Cook the coated dish in the air fryer for 12-14 minutes at 200 – frozen chips should take the same length of time, so add them all together.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat the mushy peas in the microwave, then serve with the fish and chips, and tartare sauce if you wish. For more healthy low calorie air fryer recipes take a look at The Healthy Air Fryer Book.
