Fish fingers are a beloved classic—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and perfect for a quick meal that everyone enjoys. But frying them the traditional way can be messy and oily. Enter the hot air fryer, a game-changer that lets you make perfectly crispy fish fingers without the extra grease!

If you’re looking for a healthier, fuss-free way to enjoy this family favorite, this recipe is for you.


Why Use a Hot Air Fryer?

  • Cuts down on oil, making your fish fingers lighter and healthier
  • Cooks food quickly and evenly with a delicious crunch
  • Easy cleanup—no splattering or heavy frying pans
  • Keeps your kitchen cool and odor-free

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 400g white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock), cut into finger-sized strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (panko works great for extra crunch)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a little oil for brushing

How to Make Fish Fingers in the Hot Air Fryer:

  1. Prepare your fish:
    Pat the fish strips dry with paper towels to help the coating stick.
  2. Set up your coating stations:
    Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third.
  3. Coat the fish:
    Dip each fish strip first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Preheat the air fryer:
    Set your air fryer to 200°C (about 390°F) for 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange fish fingers:
    Place the coated fish strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
  6. Cook:
    Spray or brush the fish fingers lightly with oil. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
