The upcoming fad in 2021, while everyone continues their quarantine is the air fryer. For those who don’t know what one is, an air fryer is essentially a deep oven frying device without deep-fried food’s adverse side effects. This means that you’re able to enjoy fried fish right from home and create beautiful dishes that taste super yummy. Mare Oyster Bar knows you can’t dine with us every night, but we want you to be able to enjoy seafood meals from the comfort of your house or apartment.
Popcorn Shrimp
Get your favorite shrimp out and add an oil-based seasoning to the shrimp. This will increase the flavor dramatically when put into the air fryer. Then put your freshly brushed shrimp into the air fryer and let cook for 8-10 minutes depending on how crispy you want them. The output is crunchy air-fried shrimp! You can use this inside of fresh tacos or dip them in sauces of your choice. The possibilities are endless with the nature of popcorn shrimp.
Air Fryer Fish Sticks
For our fish stick lovers, this section is for you. The breading you get from the air fryer cannot be duplicated through the oven or the microwave. They are oiled already, so they aren’t as healthy as a meal from Mare. But if you are low on time, this recipe works wonders. Butter your fish sticks and throw them in the air fryer. Cook for about 10 minutes and flip them midway. Then, get your tartar sauce ready and dig in!
Air Fried Scallops
This is another simple seafood to air fry if you try to get in a quick lunch during a busy day. Season your scallops with salt, pepper, butter, lemon, and pop them in the air fryer! This will lead to a crunchy taste that other cooking methods cannot mimic. Dig in and add your favorite sauces to your fresh fried scallops. This is especially convenient during Christmas time (Dinner of the seven fishes)
