The air fryer makes for the perfect way to cook these whole fish fillets from Gorton’s. The hot circulating air makes the exterior shell fabulously crunchy; not to mention minimizing that mushy separating later between fish and coating that’s all too common in this type of frozen product.

These Gorton Beer Batter Filets taste sooooooooo much better in the air fryer, compared to a conventional oven. And it’s faster too.
We look forward to fish Friday’s . I have the Cosori 5.8 the best AF on the market.
Not necessarily! LOL!
I have an Emeril 360 air fryer are the cooking instructions the same as with your model
I haven’t used that model so can’t say for sure Garth. Mostly, the recipes on the site should be portable to different models though. I’d say go ahead and cook a single piece of the fish in your air fryer as a test, and make sure you have a food safe thermometer to hand. Check the fish with the thermometer and take it from there. You might find you want to cook a little longer, or shave a min or two off perhaps, but I’d think the recipe gets in you the vague ballpark – where you can then tweak.
worked out great
Thanks for confirming Mike, always really appreciated!
My air fryer is just a little basket that comes in my crocs toaster oven but I put it on our fry with a turbo and they turn out marvelous you don’t need any special air fryer that’s crap! But I do flip them over instead of shake them shaking them in a basket does nothing I flip them over At the halfway point.
Thanks for the flip tip, Laura!!
I don’t have fancy air fryer, it’s actually very small, with that being said followed your instructions and they came out perfect. Time to eat!!!
Thanks for confirming, thats great to hear! 🙂
I have an EMERIL Lagasse air frier, i cook them for 11 1/2 minutes. Makes them nice and crispy. Flip half way
Do you thaw the fish B4 cooking…or not?
I cook these from frozen 🙂
I have a 6.8 quart Dreo Pro. We have tried these a few times and I’ve done 385F (12-14 mins.) and 400F(10 mins.), flipped halfway. Still can’t get away from the mushy texture. I might bump up to 425F tonight and see what happens.
