Air-fryer is THE BEST thing you can ever have in your kitchen. So if you consider buying one, I'd say INVEST in a good one! It's totally worth it. It saves a lot of time and energy and gives you great result without compromising the quality and taste of your food.

You can have a perfectly crispy fish in under 20 minutes only while the oven itself might take longer to just preheat! 😅

Clean the fish following this tip

⚠️ I forgot to do this step myself but I recommend you cut 3 diagonal slashes on each side of the fish to help the seasoning get into the skin and make the flesh more flavourful.
3

Rub the fish from outside and inside with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt
4

Fill the cavity with lemon slices and fresh herbs of your choice. I used chives and thyme
5

Place in the air-fryer if you have a big one, if not then cut it in half. Cook for 20 minutes.

Tips

How to clean whole fish / seabass (already gutted)

Buying fresh gutted fish from fishmongers doesn’t necessarily mean that the fish is clean. It’ll still need a few steps before you can cook it.

Just scrub the fish with any bottle cap, water bottle or milk.

Taking off fish scales could be a nightmare, but you also don't want to lose freshness by taking out too early. Simply put a fish in a bag when taking off scales.
