Last summer I co-hosted a co-ed wedding shower. I did all the food and I wanted to serve croquettas to go with the Spanish themed menu. Since I was making everything else I hoped and and assumed I could buy them frozen somewhere. After spending several days driving around metro Atlanta I found that I could not purchase them. I found them on line, but they were cost prohibitive. They had to be pescatarian friendly to meet the guests of honor dietary restrictions. I did not like the vegetarian recipes I found and was not in the mood to mess around with salt cod; I was wary of using mushrooms and their water logged selves on my first trip out so I decided to use a standard recipe for jamon croquettas I had found on both the Washington Post website and at latienda.com and I would substitute the meat for canned tuna. They were a hit at the party and our kids love them too. - Summer of Eggplant
