Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of fish instead of tuna?

Yes, you can substitute tuna with canned salmon, sardines, or even a plant-based alternative if you're looking for a vegetarian option. Just ensure the substitute is drained and flaked similarly to the tuna.

How should I store leftovers, and how long will they last?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (180°C) until heated through, or microwave in short intervals until warm.

What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?

If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a mixture of 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg called for in the recipe. This will help bind the ingredients together.
