This Air-Fryer Corn Crusted fish has been a wonderful way for me to get more fish onto our dinner menu. Fish has never been a big thing in our house because Rick really doesn’t like it. He is also allergic to salmon and trout, refuses to eat tilapia and catfish which makes it hard to have fish as dinner.
I do keep fish fillets in the freezer and normally enjoy them for lunch while I am working at home. I had an orphan sprouted corn tortilla after making Sprouted Corn Chips so used it to test this recipe for you.

I really struggle with remembering to get fish of any sort into my meal rotation. I know that it is better for me but yeah it is a struggle. Do you have a food that you struggle with?
I really like battered fish over breaded but this air~fryer corn crusted fish hits the spot (until I can figure out the batter part). When making this corn crusted fish you may want to add some more seasoning to the corn mixture, but the sprouted chips really brought a nice corn flavor to the dish.
What Kind of Corn Tortillas to Use
I know when I posted the Sprouted Corn Chips recipe I had a ton of people asking if they could use regular corn tortillas. The answer to that question is yes, however they need to be made with lime. I did find these thin corn tortillas from Mission Foods and would suggest using them because we THM’s really want to limit the corn in our dishes so we can get the best results while in weight loss mode.
How To Make Corn Crusted Fish Tacos
I made fish tacos out of my corn crusted fish nuggets but you can also do this with the whole fillet too. Thes make a fun family meal for the kids and adults alike. Fish tacos weren’t a thing when my kids were growing up, but two of them really enjoy them now. I still have one hold out, but am praying that will change.
