Air fryer times for fish and seafood
Seafood has the narrowest margin of anything in the index — the gap between right and ruined is often two minutes. Fish is safe at 145 °F, but shrimp, lobster, crab and scallops have no temperature target at all: the official test is visual. These are the cook times worth setting an actual timer for rather than trusting the machine.
