I hate eating fish but I love this recipe! The tuna is ground and mixed and seasoned so well with the garlic and ginger and soy sauce you don't even know you're eating fish!
The sauce is amazing! It doesn't feel heavy and it compliments the patty so well too! This is definitely a burger I'd buy in a restaurant. My husband and friend loved it!
