Air fryers are the hot new kitchen gadget that everyone’s desperate to get. Their appeal comes from the fact that they are a great way to cook food without using oil and so are seen as a healthier way to prepare your food – without losing any of the flavours. And you can cook just about anything in an air fryer. Vegetables, chips, chicken and even desserts can be cooked well in an air fryer. But the question we know you’re dying to ask is – can you cook frozen fish in an air fryer?

Well, the answer is yes – and no. Bear with us!

Avoid cooking breaded frozen fish in the air fryer. The bread will fall off the fillets and you’ll end up with a soggy greasy mess.

However, air-frying frozen fish fillets that are not breaded can make a delicious, crispy treat…

How to cook frozen fish in an air fryer

Here’s your step-by-step guide for cooking crispy frozen fish fillets in less than 15 minutes in the air fryer!

1. For perfectly cooked fillets simply place the frozen fish fillets into the air fryer basket in a single layer directly from the freezer. There’s no need to defrost!
2. Make sure the fillets aren’t packed too close together.
3. Air Fry the fish fillets for 10 minutes. 
4. Carefully flip the fish fillets and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, depending on crispness, and until they are golden brown.
5. Serve up your fillets with whatever accompaniments you like!
