New Way To Eat Tuna

[CHecker]

I'm keeping to a low carb thingy and am trying to find my way into new tuna recipes. My kryptonite is a grilled tuna and cheese on sourdough, groannn....

So I found this on Pinterest and thought I'd do it. The ingredient list is stuff you probably already have. I just exchanged almond flour for cracker meal. I like jalapenos so I did add extra.

They fried in avocado oil and did great. Not crumbly at all. I can take a couple of them to work easily.

you can also try using atlantic salmon for salmon patties.....

egg/crackers/salmon..... use the bones... they are cooked enough to soften and mash up.(not the skin).

 

just mix those ingredients with seasonings and make patties.

Try soaking the fish in milk before cooking it.  For some reason, milk seems to get rid of that blechhhpooey fishy taste.

Hey Tim, if your fish tastes strong like fish it's because it's old. Fresh fish hardly has any taste at all that's why we use butter and lemon to enhance the flavor. And I agree. bass is incredible. And so is a good cod. I have cod out for tonight, beer batter and fried in fresh lard, when properly heating the oil it doesn't make the fish greasy. Bleck, gag.  (I shared my tuna patties with my buddy Br. Chuck, he nearly always gets a third of what I cook)

Wife and I like tuna and I make a tuna scramble with Colby Jack cheese and egg.

Wonder how tastes with coconut flour? I will try coconut flour.

I had that too, coconut flour needs more moisture and I was a little concerned about them being too dry as it was.  But maybe with a little more tuna oil left in and another egg it'll probably be good. I have home canned tuna so I'm not concerned about it being canola or some such.

Fresh halibut for the win!

There are two main kinds of canned tuna: chunk light and solid or chunk white (albacore). Most canned white tuna is albacore. Its mercury levels are almost three times higher than the smaller skipjack, used in most canned light tuna.

One can make great recipes with this versatile fish.  More importantly, the canned tuna fits nicely in my emergency go-bag!
