Golden air fryer fish and chips with mushy peas

Air fryer fish and chips brings the beloved British chippy experience home with a fraction of the oil. The fish emerges from the air fryer with a shatteringly crisp golden crust, while chunky chips turn fluffy inside and crunchy outside. Served with mushy peas and tartar sauce, it's a classic made lighter.

The batter must be ice cold for the crispiest texture. Use chilled sparkling water or very cold beer.
Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook fish and chips in batches if needed for even crisping.
