Fried Tuna Patties

How do you keep fried tuna patties from falling apart? Use a firm touch when shaping your tuna patties, especially around the edges. Placing the tuna patties on a sheet pan and chilling them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes should also help keep them together. When frying the patties in the pan, avoid moving them too much. Brown well on one side before flipping to the other side. Should you use light or albacore tuna to make fried tuna patties? Your choice of tuna is completely up to you, but maybe lean a little more toward albacore tuna. Albacore has a milder, less fishy taste than standard light tuna, which plays terrifically with the seasonings you are putting into these tuna patties. Albacore is also packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. How else can you serve fried tuna patties? If you are aiming for a healthier serving option, you can serve these tuna patties in Bibb lettuce cups. You can also tuck these patties into pita or flatbread. And don’t forget your sides!
