Ingredients
3 cans tuna3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (approx.)1 large/jumbo egg1/4 small onion chopped (approx. 4 Tbsp. - optional)4 Tbsp vegetable oil (approx.)1 tsp Lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Drain tuna and place in a large bowl. Add egg and onions and about 3/4 of the bread crumbs. Mix ingredients, then knead it with your hands for a few seconds to test the consistency to see if it sticks together good enough to make patties. Add bread crumbs as needed until you get a good consistency. Create 4 patties.

Put the oil in an 8" pan and insure the oil covers the bottom of the pan (add more oil if a larger pan is used). Heat oil on low-medium heat for minute or two, then carefully add the patties to the oil. Fry for approximately 3-5 minutes on each side (flipping carefully) until golden brown.

Remove the patties from the hot oil and place on a paper towel covered paper plate. Blot the top of the patties with another paper towel while hot to absorb any excess oil (and calories). Drizzle with lemon juice (optional).
