Air Fryer Frozen Beer Battered Fish
Air Fryer Frozen Beer Battered Fish is the perfect main course or snack when served with chips or french fries. They are crispy and warm every time, and they are so easy to make with the help of your air fryer or Ninja Foodi!
Beer battered fish is a type of fried fish that is coated in a batter made with beer. This dish is thought to have originated in the UK, and it is typically served with chips or french fries. While it can be time-consuming to make beer-battered fish from scratch, it may be worth it!
But if you’re short on time, you can purchase frozen beer battered fish filets, or fish sticks at most grocery stores!
The air fryer is the best way to cook frozen beer battered fish because it circulates hot air around the food, ensuring that each piece of fish is cooked evenly! There’s also very little electricity used compared to the oven, and it won’t heat up the whole house!

👩🏻🍳Air Fryer Cooking Tips for Frozen Food
- Ensure the air fryer is preheated: This step is important because it will help the frozen beer battered fish cook evenly throughout.

- Flip the beer battered fish halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly on all sides.
- Keep the beer battered fish in the freezer until cooking: This will help them retain their shape and not stick together.
- If you don’t have an air fryer: Frozen beer battered fish can be baked in the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes.
- Best time and temperature: The exact cook time it takes to air fry frozen beer battered fish will depend on how crispy you like them and how big they are. We recommend cooking them at 375F for 12-14 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
