Notes
Check your packaging for nutrition information.
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. The fish fingers should be in a single layer and have enough space to not be touching for best results.
Don’t forget to preheat your air fryer. This ensures even and faster cooking.
Flip the fish sticks halfway through the cooking time for extra crispiness.
Check the internal temperature of the fish sticks to ensure they reach 165°F for safe eating.
Try experimenting with different brands of fish sticks to find your favorite.
Always serve them hot for the best texture and flavor.
