Merry Christmas folks,
I just bought an Instant Pot air fryer style for my kitchen and like cooking with it so far.  Does anybody have good experience fixing your fish in one?  I'd like to get a few recipes for salmon, trout, bass, etc.  I know there are recipes online but I'd like to hear what guys who actually catch fish are doing... if they have an Instant Pot also.

I haven't used this exact device.  But I've tried an air fryer on some smelts n sardines.  once.

gutted, decap, and scaled.  dredged in flour, egg, then panko'd.  you know the ordinary treatment for fried fish.

It went about as good as you might imagine.  Like I said, tried it once lolllz.

But dat's no knock on the device, in other applications its the shizzle

I just have the regular instant pot - sans air fryer. I use it for pretty much anything I would make in the crock pot/slow cooker. Chili, stew, pulled or shredded meats, etc. I also use it a lot for rice and boiled eggs - way faster than stove top and consistent results.  Mashed potatoes are easy too.

I throw hot pot parties with friends at my place, and use the instant pot on the saute setting as an extra burner, or to keep extra soup base hot and ready without having to leave it on the stove. I like using rock and lingcod fillets, crab, fresh kelp, or invertebrates as seafood ingredients into the hot pot. It doesn't do much of my seafood cooking, as the instant pot shines best as a slow cooker/pressure cooker and as an alternative to taking 12 hours to make bone broth, stews, or to soften up tendon or other meats before cooking. Or just to heat up a big batch of hot water to blanch veggies or other stuff before going in to my other pots. Mostly just to do weekday meal type stuff or long haul cooking.

Pro tip: steaming or cooking fish or fishy stuff on the pressure setting can make the pressure release smell like fish for a while if you don't clean it out properly. Fishy oils and odors have a tendency to linger in the pressure cooker.

Many fishermen spend their lives chasing fish, only to realize that it was themselves that they were chasing.

The "Salty" in my handle refers to my attitude, not the waters I fish
