awesomely simple recipe. i used ketchup and sriracha instead of the tomato juice, and added a lil onion powder and old bay. amazed at how well the wheat germ holds the patties together. didn't have dill. quick and easy. i made a sriracha mayo. i made four, but i could make mini patties and sit these out as an economical appetizer for guests. keeper. -
I made these a while back and need to make them again before I add any stars to my review. I remember them being good but they fell apart a bit. I don't normally like warm (or hot) tuna, but this was an exception for me. I look forward to making these again :) -
very good, I used the 2 tablespoons fresh dill but next time I will decrease slightly, the wheat germ added somewhat to the flavor, not sure if I would use it again though, I also added in 2 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, fresh ground black pepper and seasoned salt, thanks for sharing Paula! -
I made half the recipe and used dried onion in place of the dill and seasoned pepper. I kicked it up a notch by dredging the patties in seasoned flour before frying in my cast iron skillet! They were great and I ended up with four nice sized patties. PaulaG, thanks for the recipe! -
These were really delicious. I've tried a lot of tuna patty recipes and I think this is the keeper! I followed the recipe aside from one (odd) substitution. I didn't have any tomato juice, so I mixed crushed tomatoes with dill pickle juice in about a 2:1 ratio. I left the amount of dill the same because we're dill freaks. I really like how healthy the wheat germ makes these instead of just adding empty carbs with bread crumbs. Served with some mayo with red pepper paste and crushed garlic. Thanks so much Paula!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
