Helpful questions

How do I keep the seafood tender?

Arrange portions in one layer and begin checking early; air fryer power and fish thickness both affect the timing.

Can I use frozen seafood?

Yes, when it is suitable for this recipe. Thaw it in the refrigerator after removing vacuum packaging, then pat dry before cooking. Follow the recipe or product label if it specifically calls for cooking from frozen.
