I also make fried tuna patties. Ask me anything?

Mainly I want to ask a question. Why is it strange to make fried tuna cakes?

Hot tuna steaks = yum
Hot canned tuna = yuck

When I was poor, I would take a can of tuna, an egg, onion, garlic, black pepper, bread crumbs, and mayo...

Mix it up, make a patty, fry it.

It wasn't great, but it was about the healthiest think I could afford.

Today, I have modified the recipe: I replace jumbo lump tuna, and call it crab cakes.

I love fried tuna patties with a side of mac and cheese. The best Lenten meal! I mix mine with crushed up crackers though. I also make salmon patties!

DH is from the south and loves salmon patties, with grits, for breakfast. I bought fresh salmon and flaked it up for him, but he wasn't having it. He loves the crap from a can. The house smells for DAYS afterwards. I hate them.

Who eats Tuna croquettes?!?? I have never been offered, nor have I ever considered making, anything like this. The idea of hot canned tuna makes me gag.

But. As a PP noted, this is not like the glorious lightly fried and spices tuna we have all been fascinated with this week.

We eat salmon croquettes all the time and they're awesome with lemon juice. My family is British and has eaten them for generations. I haven't tried a tuna version, but I'm interested!

gross OP. You could make a tuna salad with the water versioned tuna. But frying them? That's just horrible.

I have a Japanese book on bento meals and it has a recipe for fried canned tuna burgers. I've been making them for years and my family loves them.

Nobody has had a tuna melt? Really? Not the same as lightly fried tuna, but the tuna is warm, dare I say even hot, if cheese is properly melty.

I don't fry it, I broil it. Way different and way better
