You don’t have to be from Canada or Europe to enjoy fish and chips. It’s golden color and crispy shell will make you wanting more! This air fryer fish and chips is not only easy to make, but my kids love it too, especially if they can dip in the tartar sauce. The breading won’t leave you feeling concerned; made with almond flour, eggs and a few spices. You can’t beat those ingredients!
Fish and chips takes me back to New Zealand. My local roommate took me out to a black sand beach one day to show some of the local wonders. One of the stops before stepping on the black sand was a fish and chips shop. It was so fun sitting on the dark sand, staring out into the water with our crispy fish and a milk shake. A memory I’ll never forget!
