FAQ

A: For best crispiness, fry and serve immediately. Leftover salmon bites can be stored but will lose some crunch.

Q: How should I store leftovers?
A: Place any uneaten salmon bites in an airtight container and refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a hot oven or air fryer to revive some crispness.
