DIY Air Fryer Fish & Chips — Continente Portugal Frozen Battered Fish Review

If you’re looking for solid Fish and Chips in Algarve, I can recommend Lara’s Plaice in Albufeira and The Water Dog in Armacao de Pera. Two very different styles and atmospheres, but both yummy and repeatable. 

Unfortunately time, location, and budget won’t always permit to go to a fish and chips joint, so the freezer aisle will have to do!

Continente Filetes de Pescada Com Ovo

​We found “fish filets with egg” (filetes de pescada com ovo) at the local Continente and wanted to give them a try in the air fryer.

Continente Battered Fish Ingredients, Nutrition Facts & Cooking Instructions

As we were cooking these in the air fryer, we followed the package instructions of cooking the filets without defrosting at 200C (392F) for 11-13 minutes.

The Results

The result was a tasty, simple fish sandwich dinner perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

We served it on a long fresh baked Portuguese roll called a cacetinho, or french roll, topped with ketchup and iceburg lettuce. Add some french fries (chips for brits) and you’re sorted! 
​

Okay obv this isn’t the same as a true British Fish + Chips and air frying a battered fish fillet is never going to be the same as deep frying, but still this is a solid option for an easy and quick meal. 🙂
