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

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Add the flour, egg, and milk to the bowl with the tuna. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a thick batter.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve the tuna fritters warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or spicy mayo.
