Has anyone cooked fishcakes in an air fryer? How did they turn out? (I know the paddle would have to be removed to prevent them being smashed to bits)

I've just tried googling 'fishcakes airfryer' and there seem to be quite a few recipes. (I appreciate that you're not actually seeking a recipe but it certainly shows that fishcakes can be satisfactorily cooked in airfryers). As an example, I'll offer you this video. (It's from Philips, who make airfryers):

I don't have one with a paddle, but if it can be done in an oven or fried, I use it. It is after all a mini fan oven. Fishfingers and scampi come out wonderfully, so fishcakes should too.

Yes - done some posh ones & they were excellent - crispy outside and moist inside - very good.

I fancy getting an air fryer but the only things that I fry are my fishcakes. I make them from tinned red salmon, smoked mackeral, spices etc and potato. Coated in breadcrumbs and shaped into cakes. They take up an awful lot of oil when fried but when I have sprayed them with oil and grilled them, they are rather dry. I was wondering if they would turn out better from an air fryer

ummmm

Tinned salmon is quite dry. Have you tried it with fresh?

I don't think I would want to waste fresh salmon in fishcakes.

Thanks. They are Thai fishcakes.

Fishcakes are fishcakes. If one type will cook in an airfryer, they all will!

(PS: I love Thai fishcakes but yours sound rather tasty too!)

I quite like Thai fishcakes but there is nothing like a good fish patty make from salmon, smoked fish, paprika, lemon juice and seasoning. Coated in golden breadcrumbs and fried in a tablespoon of oil. It's the oil I want reduce though.

Personally I'd still fry them in a tablespoon..or half a tablespoon..of oil, in a non stick frying pan. Why spend a fortune in a gadget you'll only use a few times?
