Tartar Sauce-Battered Fish Sticks in the Air Fryer image

Homemade crispy fish sticks in an air fryer. Unlike most air fryer recipes, this one does not require cooking spray or flipping halfway through cook time. An added bonus is that you don't need dipping sauce, because it is already in the batter.

DAD'S FISH BATTER



Dad's Fish Batter image

My dad got this recipe from somewhere a long, long time ago in the 20's or 30's and passed it on to Mom and she passed it on to me in the 60's. YOU Just multiply the amounts according to how much fish that you have to fry. I tried to post a photo for the recipes but the '"'powers that be''" will not let it be posted on the recipes. So I will not do any post of photos here, no recognition for it.

Categories     Trout

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -6 fish fillets
3/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Sift dry ingredients.
  • Add water and mix well. whisk until you have a smooth batter, if needed add a bit more water but do not make it too thin. (or use some beer if you like too.my up date1968).
  • Use to coat fish or chicken filets. (not too thick or thin on the coating).
  • Cover the fish completely.
  • Deep fry until a nice golden brown.
  • SOME TIP's: If you didn't have a deep-fryer to fry the fish in, A shallow fry pan can be use, And add some oil to the pan, and I was all way surprised the batter stayed on the fish. Excellent!
  • I did some chicken tenders, then some fresh flounder fillets, then some shrimp. It was all incredible! Next time I will make some hush puppies, and it will be just like eating at the restaurant!
  • This really was an excellent batter. I made it up an hour before I used it as I have heard that this makes batter 'stick' better to whatever you're frying. Anyway, it stuck. Light, crisp and not greasy.
  • For fun I tried this on onion rings and I took some sweet banana peppers and split them and removed the seeds and battered them and fried to a golden brown, excellent. I think you could batter any thing with this recipe. THANK's DAD !
  • NOTE: After reading some of the other reviews, they stated the batter was to running. I added a 1/2 cup of corn meal to the batter, also some garlic & onion powder to taste and/or fish seasoning. I also let the fish sit in the batter for 30 minute This made the batter a bit thicker on the fish and made it stick well. My entire family loved this recipe. I am also expected to make this recipe for my neighbor. She buys the fish I cook it. We now have an awesome batter for our fish. WE all Love IT.

Tips:

  • For a crispy batter, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. The cornstarch helps to create a light and crispy texture, while the baking powder helps the batter to rise and become fluffy.
  • Add some seasonings to the batter, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, to enhance the flavor. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Make sure the fish sticks are completely coated in the batter before frying them. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and that the batter doesn't fall off.
  • Fry the fish sticks in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish sticks, so be sure to keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.
  • Serve the fish sticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Fish sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
