One taste of our fresh tuna cakes recipe and you’ll never go back to using canned tuna! Tuna cakes, or tuna patties, are a childhood favorite but are usually dry and tasteless when they're made with canned tuna and lots of filler like breadcrumbs or mashed potatoes. We've updated the classic tuna cakes recipe using our fresh ahi tuna which keeps the tuna cakes light, moist and juicy. Master our easy tuna patties recipe and enjoy them a myriad of ways - serve them over salad for a healthy lunch, stuff them into buns or pita for tuna burgers, or serve smaller tuna cakes as an easy appetizer idea. Another update we've made to the traditional tuna patties recipe is going light on the panko or crackers so our luscious tuna really shines. All you need is our fresh #2+ ahi tuna, plus eggs, some crackers and herbs for a quick and easy meal. Then you can adapt our tuna cakes recipes with your family's favorite herbs or spices: try adding a shake of Old Bay seasoning, a spoonful or two of hot sauce or lemon or lime zest to the mix before shaping.
2 x 8-ounce Ahi Tuna Steaks, finely diced into ¼ inch pieces
2 eggs, beaten, plus 1 extra egg, beaten, for breading
Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a skillet to come ¼ inch up the side of the pan. When hot, carefully add the tuna cakes, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Brown the sides for 1 minute. Set aside on a wire rack while you finish cooking the rest. Enjoy!
