I bought it because the reviews were so good. I want to make it crispy in the air fryer!
Huge package
I occasionally buy this because it can be heated up crisply in an air fryer.
There are many shovel fish in a box. They are delicious when fried.
I bought 1.5 pounds of Oceankist crispy capelin frozen many times and just heated it up in the air fryer and it was ready to eat.
When eating, just air-fry until hot and crispy, dip with sweet and sour fish sauce or tamarind fish sauce and it's delicious.
This is my first purchase! I bought it after reading reviews that said it can be made in an air fryer!
