Air fryer catfish nuggets are a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fish. These tender bites of catfish are coated in a crispy seasoning, often incorporating a blend of cornmeal and spices that provide a delightful crunch. The air fryer circulates hot air around the nuggets, cooking them evenly and giving them a golden-brown exterior, while keeping the interior moist and flaky.
To prepare, simply cut the catfish into bite-sized pieces, season them generously, and dip them into a mixture of egg and milk before rolling them in the seasoned cornmeal. Once placed in the air fryer, they only take a matter of minutes to cook, making them a quick and convenient option for a satisfying meal or a tasty snack. Serve with a side of tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon for a burst of freshness. Perfect for a casual dinner or a gathering with friends, air fryer catfish nuggets are sure to impress with their flavour and crispy texture.
