Comforting Tuna Patties image

My grandmother and mother made these tuna patties on Fridays during Lent. I'm not the biggest fan of tuna, but it's perfect in this dish. These patties are even good cold the next day, if there are any leftovers. -Ann Marie Eberhart, Gig Harbor, Washington

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuna patties fell apart when I tried to flip them.

These tuna patties were a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would use less tuna next time.
