Modified the recipe left out the carrots,relish, lemon juice and shallots and chopped up half a vidalia onion and half a bell pepper and mixed it in. Also it was sticking to my hands so I put about 8 saltine crackers in the food processor and pulse until powder then added them to the mix to form it up a bit. After I browned the cakes I then put them on a baking sheet and placed in the oven @375 for 12 minutes and they were wonderful!

should i not cook the stuffing first?

No need to cook the stuffing. Think of it as fancy bread crumbs.

Don't you need oil in the skillet

These turned out rly good. I only used 2/3 of the stuffing bc I wanted to taste the tuna more. Guess I could have added an extra can of tuna instead.

It’s hard to wrong with tuna cakes, so easy & so good and light & healthy.

Only added diced butter pickles & mayo though, the stuffing took care of the rest of the spices.

The instructions didn’t say if you put oil in the frying pan, or just cook them in a dry pan? If oil, how much?

They fell apart in the pan and I didn’t use any oil per the instructions. Next time I think I’ll bake them instead bc they didn’t really get too crunchy, just kinda mushy.

Without a binder mine fell apart and I did spray the pan with oil as they were burning without it. I would add at least 2-3 eggs to this mix. I’d probably add some sort of flour or cornstarch and then shallow fry the next time.
