Tips:

  • Use good quality tuna: Look for tuna that is packed in water or oil and not in brine, as this will result in a more flavorful and moist tuna ball.
  • Do not overmix the ingredients: Overmixing will make the tuna balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the tuna balls before frying: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Fry the tuna balls over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the tuna balls immediately: Tuna balls are best served hot and fresh out of the fryer. You can serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Conclusion:

Tuna pecan balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty treats that everyone will enjoy.
