Fried fish in air fryer help
Posted on 4/19/24 at 8:53 am
Posted on 4/19/24 at 8:53 am
Recently got an air fryer & am wanting to try fried fish next
I want to use regular fish fry breading, a lot of the recipes online use bread crumbs & I’ve come across a few posts saying the breading doesn’t stick.
Does anyone have any tricks and or advice?
Thanks,

throw air fryer in trash, add canola oil to frying pan, add heat, then add fish

You can make some pretty great fish in the air fryer, but if you just want fried fish, then do what the other poster suggested and get that oil hot!

The breading doesn't stick as well because in an air fryer, there's a fan that is blowing hot air onto what you are cooking.
I've made chicken nuggets using panko and egg wash in an air fryer and they came out great...but I've never tried using fish fry seasoning, so I can't help you there. If I were you, I'd just go for it and see how you like it.

Agree with posts above. For fried fish use oil.
For an air fryer regular fish fry isn’t gonna work. An air fryer is just a more efficient oven. You would need to use products specifically for air fryer or oven (i.e. shake n bake).

An air fryer is great for re-heating/crisping up fried foods. But I havent had much luck battering and "frying" anything in ours. Usually just makes a mess and a sub par product.

There's a keto guy on YouTube who batters his food with pork rinds and shredded cheddar. I think he starts with an egg wash.

I’ll try using the air fryer to reheat any leftovers

This is where an air fryer is king. I'm not a huge fan of actually cooking meat in it, we do plenty of vegetables like asparagus, brussel sprouts, and potatos. But beyond that its really best to reheat.
The air fryer is absolutely amazing for frozen meals. Fish sticks for example, fantastic in it. Leftover french fries no one used to keep ever, awesome air fried.
Leftover fried fish, fantastic.

I've tried it before with a few crappie fillets and it was serviceable for a Po Boy, but subpar from actual deep frying.
AF's are good for small batch frozen products like chicken wings, chicken tenders, frozen french fries and tater tots, and things of that nature. Much faster than the conventional oven, comes out crispy, don't have to break out all the oil. As someone else said, great with Gordon's fish sticks too.
I'll never put a fresh fish fillet in an air fryer ever again.

I just don’t get the air fryer craze. Isn’t it essentially a convection oven, only smaller?

It IS a convection oven. That’s it. There is no “frying” involved at all.

Yes, which makes it very good for certain tasks. I was a skeptic and late to the party, but I’ve found the air fryer really good for roasting a small batch of veg like asparagus or Brussels sprouts, even baking potatoes, warming pizza, cooking frozen fries, etc. without heating up the main oven. Sort of like you can make toast in the oven, but a toaster is more efficient.
It’s been just ok when I tried to “fry” stuff like okra or eggplant that is breaded.
Once turned it wide open and put a ribeye in it, just because I didn’t want to grill in the rain. Flipped it every few minutes, and it turned out damned good.

I get the convenience. I have a convection toaster oven I’ve had since the 80’s. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on some fantastic new technology.
So essentially, they took my convection toaster oven, repackaged it into a less convenient form that holds much less and performs fewer functions, changed the name, and sold millions of them. Guess I’m just jealous I didn’t take advantage of the extreme gullibility of the average shopper.

I used to live down the road from a few rapeseed farms in Winterville GA, the fields are absolutely gorgeous in the summer with the yellow flowers.
But I agree, the oil sucks.

That Two Step fish fry is fiya, put dat on a cracker dude. All kidding aside, it really is good give it a try.

Louisiana makes boxed air fryer mixes (fish, pork & chicken). We do this fairly often - it’s a quick and easy weeknight meal with no oil and minimal cleanup. Our local store always has the pork and chicken mixes. The fish batter is hit or miss, but we’ve used the air fryer chicken mix on freshly caught bass or sacalait and it’s a great meal! The kids love “fish sticks,” especially when they were the ones to reel ‘em in!

You can do fish sticks in the air fryer. Other than that, stop being a fig and heat up some grease.
