I made these for my daughter (I am not a tuna fan), and she really liked them! Like other reviewers, I only used a 5oz. can and it seemed to work just fine. I also used more breadcrumbs than it called for, but they did turn out just like the picture! I'm sure I will be making these again!

I made these with a 5 oz. can of albacore tuna and topped them with a little homemade tartar sauce and a splash of hot sauce. They were delicious! I will definitely make these again.

This was so quick and easy! And it was super yummy too! I made four larger patties instead of six smaller ones and just cooked them a little bit longer on each side and they turned out fine!

I'm not a big seafood person, but I enjoyed these. I decided to use my George Foreman grill instead of frying them in a pan --I found it to be fast and easy to clean up.

These were awesome, even my kids loved them! The 5 ounce tuna can worked fine, I noticed they were too runny and added the whole cup of bread crumbs to the mixture and they were fine then, I also needed more than 1/2 cup of bread crumbs for the outside coating, in total I used 2 cups od dry bread crumbs, oh and I had the Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs too. But they turned out great! Will make again, very easy way to use zucchini up and tuna is good on the grocery budget!

Fabulous and good for breakfast too. If it's runny, just press with a paper towel and it will still be fine.

Made this using crushed saltines and they turned out great. Used a 5 oz can of tuna; no problems with that. I sauted the onion and zucchini to help de-water the zucchini. Only problem was that 6 patties only fed 2 people. This would be great with a tartar sauce, but it was yummy plain too.

This is a very economical, easy dinner that I will be making again! I used green onion because I had some on hand and then paired this with a dill sauce.

I tried making this with the 5 oz can of tuna and it turned out fine. I also added a little dill weed to the mix. Delicious! I wonder if the cooks who claimed it is watery had drained the tuna or pressed a couple of paper towels on the grated zucchini to get the excess water out.
