SOUTHERN FRIED TUNA PATTIES

FAQ

Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned? Absolutely! Fresh tuna will give these patties an even richer flavor. Simply cook the tuna before mixing it with the other ingredients.

Can I bake these patties instead of frying them? While frying gives these patties their signature crunch, you can certainly bake them for a lighter option. Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Can I freeze these patties? Yes, these patties freeze well! Once fried, let them cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
