What kind of fish should I use?

Use any kind of boneless, skinless white fish. I love using cod, but use your favorite white fish.

The fish sticks are cooked through when an instant read thermometer inserted into the fish reads at least 145°F. The breadcrumbs should be golden brown.

Tips!

  • Spray the tops of the fish sticks with oil before cooking. This will help them to get crispy and brown all over.
  • Cook the fish sticks in batches. They should be cooked in a single layer.

This classic recipe is always a crowd pleaser. So simple and effortless to make and I love how quickly the cook in the air fryer!

Can I make these fish sticks gluten free?

Yes. To make these gluten free, use gluten free flour and bread crumbs.

These delicious homemade fish sticks are easy to make and quick to cook thanks to the air fryer. Pieces of cod are coated in crispy seasoned panko breadcrumbs and cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Instructions

  • Spray the basket of an air fryer with nonstick spray. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

  • Use paper towels to pat the fish fillets dry. Cut them lengthwise into 1×4-inch strips. Set aside.

    12 ounces cod fillets

  • Whisk the flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, paprika, and garlic powder.

    ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 large egg, ½ cup Panko bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Coat each piece of fish with the seasoned flour and dip into the beaten egg. Coat with the seasoned bread crumbs. Repeat until all strips of fish are seasoned and coated.

  • Working in batches, place fish sticks in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket and spray the tops of the breaded fish with additional spray. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping the fish halfway through. The fish sticks should be crisped and golden brown, with an internal temperature of at least 145°F when measured with an instant read thermometer. If needed, increase the cooking time. Repeat until all fish sticks are cooked.

  • To keep the first batch of fish sticks warm while cooking the rest, place them onto a foil-lined baking sheet in a 200°F oven. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
