Air Fryer Fish and Chips has crispy breaded haddock paired with seasoned homemade potato wedges, all cooked right in the air fryer. The fish stays flaky inside while the coating gets golden and crisp without deep frying.
This is one of my favorite ways to make fish and chips at home. The seasoned potato wedges cook right alongside the crispy fish for an easy dinner that’s especially good with tartar sauce and malt vinegar.

Why I Love Air Fryer Fish and Chips

How to Make Air Fryer Fish and Chips
Prepare the Potatoes: Soak the potato wedges in ice water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry.
Season the Wedges: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Air Fry the Chips: Air fry the potato wedges for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook in batches if needed, then set aside.
Air Fry the Fish: Coat the haddock portions in the seasoned fish breading. Place 2–3 pieces in the sprayed air fryer basket, lightly spray the tops, and cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Repeat with the remaining fish.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Don’t skip the soak. Soaking the potato wedges for at least 30 minutes helps remove excess starch so they crisp better.
- Dry the potatoes well. Pat them completely dry before adding the oil and seasonings.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Cook the potatoes and fish in batches if needed so the air can circulate.
- Spray the breaded fish lightly. A little cooking spray helps the coating become golden and crispy.
- Flip halfway through. Flip both the potato wedges and fish for more even cooking.

For the Fried Fish:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400℉.
- Rinse the haddock portions in cold water and shake off any excess.
- In a baking dish, add the fish breading and coat each haddock portion. Gently press the fish down to ensure an even coating.

Notes
Cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of the haddock and your air fryer. Cook the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
