Ingredients:
– 2 cans of tuna
– 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup of milk

4. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tuna patties to the pan.
5. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Be sure to flip them gently with a spatula so they don’t fall apart.
