Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces.
Add the flour, egg, and milk to the bowl with the tuna. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a thick batter.
Chop the green onions and parsley, and add them to the batter. Mix in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter and carefully place it in the skillet. Flatten slightly with a spatula to form a patty shape.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the tuna fritters warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or spicy mayo.
