Keto Tuna Patties
In the mood for some Keto Tuna Patties tonight?
This Keto Tuna Patties recipe is a great substitute for salmon and is consequently a lot less expensive and certainly easier to find.
Regardless of whether or not you are watching carbs, these are a great quick and easy main course.
Keto Tuna Patties …
Some love Salmon, some don’t … others prefer Tuna. For the most part I personally myself love them both! Regardless of your preference, this Tuna Pattie recipe will be a perfect recipe for you to try if you want a simple, easy and undeniably delicious fish/seafood patty.
You may certainly substitute salmon, of course. In other words, use whichever of the two is your preference.
If you aren’t on Keto, that’s fine – you can simply use cracker crumbs in place of crushed pork rinds. And slap it between a couple of slices of bread, if you desire.
Likewise, kid’s love these, too. Tuna patties can be served as lunch or dinner; with or without bread; perhaps with a bit of macaroni & cheese as a side for the kids? They’ll eat these either way.

Ingredients …
3 @ 5 oz cans Tuna, drained, finely shredded
4½ oz pork rinds, finely crushed
1 tsp dried dill weed
½ tsp smoked paprika
pinch salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs
1 tbsp mayonnaise
coconut or olive oil for frying
Instructions…
*In a large bowl, finely shred the tuna from the can. Make sure there are no ‘chunks’.
*Place pork rinds in a gallon baggie and finely smash or use rolling pin, as I did. Add to tuna in bowl
*Add the cheeses.
*Mix all these dry ingredients together well.
*Add the eggs and mayo. Mix very well. Mix will seem too dry, but as they cook the cheese melts adding moisture and holding them together.
*Heat the coconut or olive oil in a frying on low to med-low heat (I used enough to make about 1/4 inch up on patties. (The thicker you make your patties the lower you will need to have your heat to keep them from burning on the outside and still cold on the inside.)
*Divide mixture into 4 ‘balls’. Form into patties, about 1/2″-3/4″ thick. Fry in oil until nicely browned and warmed all thru.
