I just don't log dives
With the addition of this new kitchen appliance has anyone tried cooking fish or any other seafood in one?
 
I do salmon all the time - 380 for 15-18 min. Turns out great every time. It is very consistent. I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to do other fish.
 
An air fryer is a mini convection oven. Anything you can do in an oven you can air “fry”. Some air fryers don’t have a temperature control, just a timer, so it’s a bit more experimentation to get the correct settings for anything, although they might come with a general starting guideline.
 
Anything dry breaded you should get good results with. I might try parmesean crusted catfish in mine. I like to use dry heat on lobster tails so that would probably work out too. Shell-on shrimp should work as well. If I didn't have access to a grill I'd probably try the air-fryer for the last two,

That was my concern, trying to gauge from fillet thickness etc.
 
Was thinking scallops as well. Try any? Currently looking up the Salmon and Cod!
No but I don't cook scallops at home as my wife doesn't eat them. The only seafood we cook at home is fish. We have a Ninja air fryer with adjustable temperature, time and various other settings (air fry, air roast, air broil, etc). We use it ALL THE TIME.

We have a slightly older model of this one: Ninja Air Fryer
 
We cook salmon frequently but with a bit of olive oil to crisp it up.

We also like haddock in the air fryer but because it's a leaner fish we find it needs a coating mixture to stay moist. Our coating is made up of panko, coarse black pepper and paprika. But we first coat the fish in a bit of yoghurt so that the coating adheres.
