Simple tuna croquettes recipe

Tuna didn’t find its footing in American cuisine until after it began being sold in cans in 1908. It was branded as Chicken of the Sea to add a sense of familiarity, and soon became America’s most consumed fish and was commonly used in many family recipes like tuna noodle casserole and tuna croquettes. While tartar sauce has been around since the 1800s, it rose in the public eye in 1947 after the Mazola company began taking out four-page color advertising spreads in magazines, extolling the pairing of tartar sauce and fish.
