We texture of the canned albacore tuna the best for this recipe. Try to avoid the canned tunas which are very mushy. Fresh, raw tuna works great too if you feel like using fresh fish. The amount of egg will vary depending on the dryness of your tuna and the absorption of the bread crumbs. If you are unsure, start with 2 eggs, and if the mixture seems too dry to easily form into patties, add a 3rd egg.
