Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen cod?+

Yes — thaw completely in the fridge and pat very dry to help the breading stick.

How do I keep the breading from falling off?+

Press panko firmly into the fish and don't flip during cooking — air fryers cook top and bottom evenly.

What's a good dip?+

Classic tartar sauce, lemon aioli, or a spicy remoulade all work perfectly.
