Makes

Ingredients

0.8 pounds fish sticks 15-16 frozen fish sticks
2 tablespoons tartar sauce

Lemon Garlic Aioli (Optional)

¼ cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic minced
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). If your air fryer has a capacity of 4 quarts or smaller, please see the note for more info.
Get your frozen fish sticks ready.
Air fry frozen fish sticks for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Begin by carefully placing your frozen fish sticks in the preheated air fryer. Cook them until they turn golden brown and the crust becomes crispy.
Make your dipping sauce. A ready-made tartar sauce is the classic option, but you can also make lemon garlic aioli from scratch by simply mixing ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 clove minced garlic, ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, and adding salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy your air fryer frozen fish sticks! They are best paired with the traditional tartar sauce or the lemon garlic aioli.

Notes

For smaller air fryers (4-quart and below), reduce the cooking temperature to 360°F (182°C). They generate more heat because of the heating element's proximity to the food.
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, set your desired temperature and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test cooking frozen fish sticks in the air fryer. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
