Don't use oil. I've tried it both ways, and specifically for breaded fish it tends to make it soggy rather than crispy.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in a single layer and leave some room for the air to circulate.
Use a meat thermometer to make sure the fish is heated through. The internal temperature should reach at least 160℉ (72℃).
