Description

There are many different variations of fish tacos you can make and it all depends on how you decide to cook the fish. I love my air fryer so much and fish is so easy to cook in it just like chicken or any other type of protein.

  •  2 pounds of skinless whitefish fillets such as cod, haddock, or halibut
