Cosori air fryer fish: frozen vs fresh
If you're looking to cook fish in your Cosori Air Fryer, you can use either fresh or frozen fish fillets. The main difference between the two is that frozen fish fillets should be cooked straight from frozen, whereas fresh fish fillets can be cooked straight away or after being defrosted.
For fresh fish fillets, you can follow a simple recipe of coating the fillets in oil, covering them in breadcrumbs and your choice of seasoning, and then air-frying at 390°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping the fillets after 8-10 minutes. The fish is ready when it's easily flaked with a fork. You can serve the fish with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
If you're using frozen fish fillets, you can cook them straight from frozen. Place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overlapping, and air fry at 380°F/193°C for 12 minutes. Then, flip the fillets over and air fry for another 2-4 minutes, or until the coating is crispy. You can serve frozen fish fillets with tartar sauce and lemon slices.
It's important to note that the cooking time may vary depending on the type of fish, the thickness of the fillets, and the model of your Cosori Air Fryer. Additionally, make sure that your air fryer basket is not overcrowded, as this will prevent the fish from crisping properly.

Frequently asked questions
Cooking fish in the Cosori Air Fryer is an easy and healthy way to prepare fish. First, ensure your fish fillets are not too thin, as thin strips won't work well. Then, coat the fillets in a seasoning of your choice and breadcrumbs. Next, place the fish in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between each fillet for even cooking. Set the temperature to 200°C (390°F) and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
The cooking time depends on the size and thickness of the fish, the temperature, whether the air fryer was preheated, and the brand of the air fryer. As a general rule, thinner, more delicate fish will cook faster, while thicker fish will need a little extra time. For specific types of fish, air fryer salmon bites can be ready in around 30 minutes, air fryer mahi mahi in about 30 minutes, and air fryer tilapia in under 20 minutes.
A temperature of 200°C (390°F) is recommended for cooking fish in the Cosori Air Fryer. However, some recipes suggest cooking at 375°F-400°F, especially if you want a crispy exterior.
You can use a digital thermometer to check if your fish is cooked; the internal temperature should be at least 145°F (63°C). Alternatively, you can check by texture and colour. Cooked fish will be firm and will flake easily with a fork, and it will be a paler colour than when fresh.
There are various side dishes that go well with air-fried fish. You can serve it with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges. For sides, consider vegetables, potatoes, or fries. For fish and chips, cut potatoes into slices, toss them in oil, salt, pepper, and spices, and cook in the air fryer for a crispy exterior and soft interior.
