Air-Fried Walleye Fish Sticks give all the childhood nostalgia of fish sticks with the fun of catching them yourself! Walleye definitely lends itself to the nostalgia because of how mild the taste is. Carp fish sticks might not bring back as fond of memories 😂.

I’m a big fan of the air-fryer, but if you just want to use a deep fryer you definitely can! The air-fryer just makes me pretend like what I’m eating is healthy and not just a little less unhealthy lol. You can also use whatever fish you want. You don’t need walleye, but I would lean towards another white fish.

With the air fryer this is a super easy recipe. You do your normal dredging that you would when you fry fish. The only difference is you don’t have to worry about oil temperature you just click a couple of buttons, and the temperature is good to go. A little tartar sauce and coleslaw on the side definitely adds to the meal too!

Another extra diddy I have done in this recipe is give two coating options. One is a simple potato flake coat. I think this gives more of an English Fish & Chips fish stick. The other option is with breadcrumbs. This is what will throw you back into your childhood like someone said: “razor scooter to the ankle” with “Scooby Dooby Doo Where are you” playing faintly in the background.

So throw these bad boys together and let me know how it goes and ENJOY!.

Ingredients

First Dredging Pan

  • 3 eggs
  • 4 T half and half

Second Dredging Pan

  • 1 C all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 T garlic powder
  • 1 T fresh chopped dill

Third Dredging Pan

  • 1 C potato flakes 2 C if only using this
  • 1 C hot and spicy bread crumbs 2 C if only using this

Instructions

  • Cut fish filets into desired sizes
  • Pat the fish dry.
  • Sprinkle with salt to extract more moisture (~30 minutes).
  • While you wait make your tarter sauce.

Dredging

  • Set up three pans for dredging.
  • For the first pan mix 2 eggs and 3 T of half and half together.
  • Mix all of your ingredients from the second dredging pan together.
  • In your third pan either place 2C of potato flakes (stir in salt and pepper to taste) or 2C of hot and spicy bread crumbs. You can use both and then just have two pans with 1C of your respective breading in each.

Cooking

  • Get air fryer up to temperature by cooking it at 400°F for 3 minutes with nothing in it.
  • Pat fish dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture (this will help the batter stick better).
  • Dredge your fish in the flour, then the egg wash, then in the potato flakes or the bread crumbs.
  • Spritz your fish with avocado oil.
  • Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes than flip and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Take out and enjoy!!

This Beer Battered Walleye sandwich recipe will have you looking for the next flight to the Midwest!

People in the south and the Midwest are basically just like two long lost twins separated by how much they like the cold. Both are known for hospitality and overall friendliness, both love hunting and fishing, and most importantly both love a good fish fry!!

This is just a continuation of the beer-battered walleye recipe I made a couple of weeks ago. I threw those fried walleye filets on some Hawaiian buns with coleslaw and oh my goodness…it was soooo good! The recipe isn’t long. Just take it as an idea for any walleye burning a hole in your freezer. Overall, I hope you guys enjoy this as much as my family did!

Beer Battered Walleye. That’s it. That’s the tweet…or recipe.

But for real, this recipe is amazing. If I had to explain what walleye tasted like, I would say it is similar to tilapia, maybe even more mild. But what’s great is you can use any white fish you want for this recipe.

My father and husband had the opportunity to go pheasant hunting a week ago. One of the days they were there, the weather wasn’t so great, so they opted to go fishing instead. They were able to catch walleye and package it to bring home to me. OH MY! It is so good.

My mother grew up partially living in Scotland. One of her favorite dishes was fish and chips. Her love for the cuisine has been passed down to me. Fish and chips is typically made with seltzer water or something bubbly like beer. Having been craving fish and chips and having NA beer in the fridge, I decided to make beer battered walleye.

The most important thing about this recipe is keeping your oil to temperature. If your oil drops, the fish sits longer in the oil leaving time for your batter to soak it up and become soggy. No Bueno. By making sure your oil stays to temp, you will get a crispy fish that is absolutely amazing. You can serve this up with chips (or fries) or on a sandwich (which I will have a recipe for later).

I hope y’all enjoy this as much as us! Don’t be afraid to double, triple, or even quadruple this recipe! You won’t regret it.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fish I used Walleye; deboned, skinned, fileted
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1/2 C all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper more or less depending on spice tolerance
  • 1/2 T garlic powder
  • 1/2 T paprika
  • 1 tsp Lawry's seasoned salt
  • 3/4 C beer*
  • 1 large egg
  • vegetable or canola oil enough for frying

Instructions

  • Heat oil to 375°F. I did ~2 inches of oil in a deep pan.
  • Pat fish dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine flour, cayenne, garlic powder, paprika, and Lawry's in a shallow dish, such as a pie dish.
  • Add egg and beer and mix well.
  • Fry the fish. Do not overcrowd the pan. I cooked 2 at a time.
  • Cook until golden brown ~3 minutes. Make sure the oil stays up to temp or your fish batter will cook soggy. Enjoy!

Notes

*I used Heineken 0.0. If you are opposed to beer or NA beer, you can use seltzer water. We are mainly just needing the carbonation here.
