Cooking fish sticks in an air fryer lets you dive into a whole new world of taste. They turn extra crispy and taste downright amazing.
Since these are homemade, they are more “meaty” and have less breading than store-bought. Try them on a sandwich!
5 Tips for Making the Perfect Fish Sticks using an Air Fryer
- If you are using frozen fish, thaw it completely before making fish sticks.
- Cod, catfish, or other whitefish work best for this recipe, so the choice is on you!
- Always pat dry fish with paper towels to remove moisture.
- Cook fish sticks in batches without overcrowding the basket.
- Season the flour and breadcrumbs with your favorite seasonings – garlic, chili, sweet paprika, or fresh parsley are always a good choice!
