Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the tuna patties in the hot skillet.

Notes
For extra crispy patties, you can lightly coat them in additional bread crumbs before frying.
Serve with your favorite tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
These patties are great on a bun as a tuna burger.
For a healthier option, you can bake these patties at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
