Unpopular opinion: I was wrong about air frying whole fish after trying it at a beachside shack in Malibu.
The skin got crazy crispy in 15 minutes at 400 degrees, but now I'm stuck wondering if that small air fryer basket is worth the hassle compared to just using my oven's broiler.

What size is your air fryer basket? Mine is the 6 quart model and I can fit a whole 1.5 pound branzini if I cut the tail off. The key is to dry the fish really well with paper towels first.

Wait, you fit a whole fish in an air fryer? What kind of tiny fish are we talking about here? My basket struggles with a decent sized chicken breast. I can't picture getting anything bigger than a sardine in there without it getting totally bent out of shape.

My basket fits a whole trout just fine, you just have to pick the right size. It's all about the shape, not just the weight.
