But they look so pretty in the picture! I had ran into this recipe from numerous sources and the food photography was just so darn good and who doesn't like tuna? (okay, well I like tuna) But this recipe was a total flop. The canned tuna tasted like just that - canned tuna! I feel like if this recipe was made with fresh tuna it would be great but I felt like a huge draw of the recipe was that it was spicing up an otherwise non-fancy food into something you could serve at a dinner with your friends. Also, as a person who used to eat canned tuna all the time, once you go fresh (tuna) you just can't go back. ANYWAYS I would suggest trying with fresh tuna but fresh tuna is pretty much good any way you cook it. Oh and as far as the low-carb-ness if you are trying this with fresh tuna: I substituted in almond flour instead of all-purpose white flour and I would recommend not adding in extra liquid like the recommended oil and tuna water since the almond flour doesn't absorb the juices as well.
