Guinness Battered Haddock

We decided to take a St. Paddy’s day break from the traditional corn beef and cabbage and instead we settled on stout battered fish & chips made with Guinness. To accompany it we made some beefeater fries and threw them into the air fryer. Thanks to Logan’s Daily Catch for the amazingly fresh haddock!

Notes

Omitting the eggs makes a crispier, but darker fish.

If you have fish left over reheat it in the air fryer and it will just as crispy as it was when it was first made.

*For each cup of batter mix you will need to add 1 egg ( optional) and 3/4 cup of Guinness of beer of your choice.
