How to Make Whanona's Tuna Fritters

In a large bowl, combine the tuna, corn, flour, egg, milk, onion, and spices. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter should sizzle immediately), drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the skillet.
Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if needed.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy! These fritters are fantastic on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
