Guess what? You are up, hungry and you want something to fill your gut. Sleeping on an empty stomach isn’t going to be easy and you just want to get it over with.
You open the fridge and what do you find? A box if fish sticks.
“Terrific. I knew I should have gone through the grocers last Sunday” you mumble to yourself.
But what if there was a way to prepare fish sticks, eat it warm and crispy without having to make a monumental mess. Wherein you’d have to clean it up in the morning?
Well, here’s how you can cook frozen fish sticks using your dusty old air fryer that your mom included to pack in your boxes when you moved out six months ago, and some cooking oil, too!
Step 1:
First and foremost, you are going to have to wake yourself up and clean the air fryer. You would not want to snack on fish sticks and cobwebs now, do you?
Use a clean rag to wipe off any dust, cobweb, spider, cockroach or any foreign thing in the air fryer.
Step 2:
Once the dirty old air fryer has become a clean old air fryer. You are going to have to preheat that bad boy to around four hundred degrees Fahrenheit for around five minutes or so.

If your air fryer is non-stick, you can put the fish sticks in, no problem. But if you aren’t sure. You can spritz some cooking oil on the surface so the fish sticks don’t get stuck into the air fryer.
Step 4:
It’s now time to toss in the fish sticks! It is not recommended that you put the fish sticks on top of each other. But rather have them all situated side by side occupying only one layer. If you want them to cook fast and properly, this is how you do it.
If you still have more that you want to cook, set them aside for another batch or so.
Step 5:
Close the air fryer and let it fry for around ten minutes.
On the 5th minute, you have to flip those fish sticks to make sure that all sides are evenly cooked.
Step 6:
If you’re feeling a bit picky. You can hold them on to cook for another minute or two so they can be crispier.
Step 7:
If you wish, you can scatter some salt, pepper, spices, cayenne or even some herbs. If you want to add some pizzazz and flavour into your fish sticks.
Air fried fish when done right will let you enjoy some fish in the most convenient way possible. Although the odour of having fish air fried isn’t that delightful for some people, it is best that you do so properly and responsibly, because as everyone knows, fish sticks. Rather, its scent sticks and lingers way longer than what’s tolerable.
