Tips:

Choose the right fish: Use a firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well to air frying, such as cod, tilapia, or haddock. Avoid delicate fish, such as salmon or trout, as they may fall apart during cooking.
Prepare the fish properly: Cut the fish into even-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Use a light coating: The coating should be thin and even, so that the fish cooks evenly. If the coating is too thick, it will become soggy and prevent the fish from cooking properly.
Preheat the air fryer: This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the basket.
Cook the fish in batches: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
Check the fish for doneness: The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If the fish is not cooked through, it may contain harmful bacteria.

Conclusion:

Air-fried crumbed fish is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional fried fish. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. With a little preparation, you can make air-fried crumbed fish at home in just a few minutes.
