Battered fish came out soggy, what did I do wrong?

Tried making fish and chips style fillets last night in my air fryer at 380 for 12 minutes. Coated them in a beer batter like I do for deep frying, but they came out all soft and the coating just slid off. I think the batter needs to dry out more before hitting the hot air, or maybe I need to preheat longer. Anyone got a better batter recipe that crisps up without turning into a mess? Should I dust them in cornstarch first or use a panko crust instead?
