2 12-oz cans solid white albacore tuna
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1½ tsp old bay seasoning
5 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp each: onion powder and fresh lemon zest
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions
Meatballs
Combine tuna through cayenne pepper in a large bowl, breaking up large chunks of tuna with the back of a spoon. Taste meatball mixture and adjust seasonings to your taste preferences. Mix in eggs.
Form 18 meatballs from the tuna mixture, squeezing each into a tight ball. Place as many meatballs as will fit into a large skillet coated with 2 TBS canola oil (or other neutral flavored oil). Cook over medium heat until golden brown and firm, rotating meatballs occasionally, ~5 minutes.

Poboys
Smear each roll with mayo, spoon slaw mixture down the center, and top with 3 warm meatballs.
