For your next fish fry, consider turning to your air fryer over your deep fryer for crispy, coated cod without all the oil. Cod is perfect for air frying — it's flaky, mild, and light, and takes perfectly to breading. Here you'll find air fryer cod recipes like classic fish and chips, breaded fish sticks, and even ideas for dressing up frozen, pre-breaded cod with a little help from the air fryer.

These New Orleans-inspired po' boys are made with crispy, air-fried cod, topped with a chipotle coleslaw, and served on toasted hoagie rolls.
