The airfryer is generally regarded as a very uncomplicated kitchen gadget. For maximum seafood enjoyment, we have eight small, but excellent tips for you here:

Tip #1: Dab the fish fillet or seafood dry first: a moist surface prevents browning!

Tip #2: The right combination of heat & time: Here it depends on what exactly you are preparing in the airfryer. While fish fillets tend to benefit from slower cooking at a slightly lower temperature of around 180 °C, higher temperatures (190-200 °C) and shorter cooking times (approx. 5-8 minutes) are ideal for seafood such as shrimp.

Tip #3: Place the fish with the skin side up: this makes it nice and crispy and protects the tender meat from direct heat.

Tip #4: Use baking paper with holes or a silicone mat: This will prevent delicate fish fillets or fine pieces of seafood from sticking to the grid. And without blocking the hot air circulation.

Tip #5: Don't overload: The rule here is: less is more! With the airfryer, air circulation is crucial. So cook your seafood in two batches rather than overfilling the basket.

Tip #6: Do not turn: Unlike in a pan, you don't need to turn fish or seafood in the airfryer. The cooking process is even and from all sides. This also prevents your fish from falling apart.

Tip #7: Spray breaded pieces with oil: When breading fish or seafood, it is best to use oil spray. This ensures golden-brown, crispy results.

Tip #8: Marinate before cooking: Marinate your fish or seafood before putting it in the airfryer. A marinating time of 10-15 minutes is completely sufficient.
