What it is

To prepare, you can pan-fry the tuna patty in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. They can also be gently heated in a microwave. Ensure the patty is cooked thoroughly before serving. These patties are great served on buns or alongside your favorite side dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike canned tuna, these patties are already shaped and seasoned, saving preparation time. They offer a firmer texture than flaked tuna and are designed for a more substantial bite. The binding agents help them hold their shape during cooking, making them easier to handle.

This product is ideal for individuals and families looking for a fast and simple way to incorporate tuna into their meals.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the tuna patty immediately. Keep it tightly wrapped or in an airtight container. It is best consumed within a few days of opening the package. Do not refreeze if the product has thawed.
