    Air fryer frozen fish sticks are a quick and kid-friendly meal. Cook them in the air fryer for a less greasy yet still crispy lunch that they are bound to love.

    Frozen Fish Sticks in Air Fryer

    Air fryer fish sticks from scratch are one of my go-to quick and easy lunch ideas for toddlers at home. Whitefish is a healthy source of protein and minerals and when you make them yourself you have full control over the salt and fats.

    They also perfectly fit an adult diet as homemade keto air fryer fish sticks. Make an extra big batch and store them in the freezer for quick lunches and dinners whenever you need them.

    How to Cook Frozen Fish Sticks in Air Fryer

    Frozen Fish Sticks in Air Fryer

    This is just as simple as cooking fish sticks in the oven. All you have to do is give each stick enough space, making sure they don’t touch or overlap.

    The crispy skin on fish sticks also tends to stick on whatever cooking surface you are using so I make sure to spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray beforehand.

    How long to cook frozen fish sticks in air fryer? Cook at 380 degrees for 4 minutes on each side – done.

    What to Eat with Fish Sticks

    Fish sticks on their own are delicious but of course, you want a complete meal. Throw in a batch of air fryer french fries and the kids’ plate will be clean before you know it.

    For something a little healthier (which I recommend if you’re making homemade fish sticks anyway), make a simple cucumber and tomato salad or serve with honey-glazed carrots. For the classic English style, serve air fryer battered fish sticks with mushy peas.

    Best Sauce for Frozen Fish Fingers

    My personal favorite combo is and always will be tartar sauce. I am in love with this homemade red lobster tartar sauce.

    If you’re making keto fish sticks then you should also make this keto tartar sauce. And if you want something with more zing, try this zesty cajun tartar sauce.

    Recipes Using Fish Sticks

    Looking for something a little more adventurous using fish sticks? Cooking frozen fish sticks in the air fryer does not have to be boring. In fact, they can be a great time-saving ingredient for some very fun meals.

    How about these fish stick tacos for Taco Tuesday? Or a fish stick casserole for an at-home with grandma feeling.

    On my go-to list of easy air fryer lunch recipes, you will find these fish stick sliders and codfish stick southwestern salad. I am also a fan of beer-battered fish wraps for a to-go lunch.

    Frozen Fish Sticks in Air Fryer

    Frozen fish sticks bring me lots of childhood nostalgia so I will never be too good for this simple yet yummy food. I hope that this post inspires you to have a little more fun with frozen fish sticks.

    Tell me more about your childhood memories of eating frozen fish sticks. I would love to see how you incorporate them into your kids’ meals, too!
