I, too, was disappointed. The texture of the patties was soft rather than crisp on the outside, which we prefer. The patties had too much breading (1-1/4 cups) and little taste of tuna. The sauce was okay, but not special. I prefer our old tuna croquettes recipe.

Mediocre cakes and mediocre sauce. I didn't find these spicy enough and didn’t care for the texture, which I found too soft. Some celery, onions and/or peppers would have helped the texture issue. I also thought the sauce was boring. Would have to do quite a bit of modifying to make these worthwhile. I used Emeril's Essence for my seasoning, which may not have been the best choice, although I love it for seasoning everything else. I did like the idea of the lemon zest/juice, the Dijon and the Creole seasoning, but I'm not sure if I would try these again.
