How To Reheat Fried Fish So It Doesn't Lose Any Crispiness

Ovens, air fryers, and pan-frying are ideal methods for reheating fried fish because they rely on circulating dry heat, unlike microwaves, which create steam and ruin the texture.

Dry heat is essential to maintaining the texture of fried fish. It applies direct, hot air to the surface of the food, which re-crisps the breading without adding excess moisture.

Preheat your oven between 275 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the fish on a wire rack over a baking sheet, allowing the air to crisp the fish evenly without drying it out.

Reheat fried fish in a pan with a thin layer of oil over medium heat. Gently fry it for a few minutes, flipping it once to get a golden exterior without overcooking the inside.
