I have an Air Fryer & I just started using it more to cook fish. A few weeks ago I used used Pork rinds as part of the coating. It provided light crunchy crust. Earlier this week I used pork rinds again but used Hot & spicy I put them in a bowl to crush them up & then mixed in some panko bread crumbs to help take some of the heat down. I used an egg wash first then rolled fillets in the dry mixture. I let them sit for about 10 minutes prior to putting in Air fryer. 10 minutes 400 degrees. Wow are they good. Light crunchy & perfect on the spice. Best part No Oil Some recipes say to lightly spray the food before putting in Air fryer. I did not & they came out just fine. I used Walleye & I plan to use perch on Sunday when I have some friends over for Football I plan on making perch sandwiches using same method. The fryer I have is similar to a toaster oven & I have 2 trays so I can do about 12 walleye fillets at a time I rotate them half way through.
