What Crackers to Eat with Tuna (8 Kinds)
You’re looking for crackers to eat with tuna.

You want something crunchy, but not too crunchy.
You want the kind of cracker that you can dip into your tuna salad and get a little bit of the taste of the cracker in every bite.
And maybe you want it to be a little salty so it complements your tuna perfectly.
Or maybe you just want something that’s going to be delicious and doesn’t require much effort on your part—you know, something easy and convenient.
Either way, I’m here for you!
In this article, I’ll go over what crackers to eat with tuna for a perfect snack!
What Crackers to Eat with Tuna?
The best crackers to eat with tuna are the ones that complement the taste of your tuna.
If you want something salty, try saltines, which are crispy and crunchy, so they’ll contrast well with the smooth texture of the tuna.
If you want something sweet, try Ritz Crackers—they’re tasty on their own and have a nice buttery flavor that’s similar to tuna.
Here are 8 types of crackers that will work perfectly with your tuna:
1. Saltine Crackers

I’ve always been a big fan of saltine crackers with tuna.
It’s a great combination, and there’s something about it that feels like home to me.
I like the way the saltiness of the crackers balances out the creaminess of the tuna, and I like how they make me feel full without feeling too heavy in my stomach.
If you haven’t tried this combination before, give it a shot—you might be surprised by how much you love it!
2. Wheat Thins

I bet you’ve never tried this before: eating wheat thins with tuna.
I know, it sounds weird at first, but hear me out!
Tuna is so salty and rich, and you’ll probably want to drink something afterwards.
But what if you just ate some wheat thins instead?
The saltiness of the tuna will balance out the sweetness of the crackers, and it’ll leave you feeling satisfied without feeling like you can’t breathe anymore!
So next time you’re craving a snack during your lunch break, try it out!
3. Triscuits
Triscuits are a great snack to have on hand when you’re feeling peckish!
And they’re even better when you add tuna.
I like to eat Triscuits with tuna because they’re both salty, which means you get more flavor out of each bite.
Plus it’s hard to stop eating once you’ve started—you’ll just keep going until the whole pack is gone, and then you’ll be sad that you ate all those crackers by yourself!
If you like Triscuits and tuna, try this recipe:
- Take one Triscuit and place it in between two pieces of wax paper.
- Put one layer of tuna on top of the Triscuit and then another layer over top of that one.
- Close up the sandwich and put it in the freezer for about twenty minutes or so.
- Then after that time has passed, unwrap your creation from its wax paper casing (or if you don’t want to waste any time doing that stuff just bite into it!).
4. Wasa Crispbread (or any other crispbread)
If you’re looking for a quick, low-calorie snack that’s also really tasty, look no further than Wasa crispbread with tuna.
I love the combination of the salty, savory tuna and crunchy crumbs.
Plus, they’re so easy to eat!
Just stick a piece of Wasa in your mouth (or grab a fork) and go to town on your tuna.
You can even dip it in some hot sauce if you want to add some spice.
It’s also great because it’s really easy to make ahead of time: just put the tuna on top of the Wasa and store them together in an airtight container until you’re ready to eat them!
5. Rice Crackers

I love eating rice crackers with tuna!
It’s something I’ve been doing for years, and I can’t imagine a better way to enjoy both of these delicious snacks.
Here are my three tips for eating them together:
- Use a fork to eat the crackers. This is important because you want the tuna to be the first thing that hits your tongue, so it has time to melt in your mouth before you bite into the cracker.
- Don’t use too many crackers at once! You don’t want to overwhelm your taste buds with too much crunchiness at once—that’s why we’re using forks instead of chopsticks or fingers (though those are totally fine if that’s what you like!). Just one cracker per bite is enough to give it some texture without being overpowering.
- Enjoy every last bite of that tuna! Tuna isn’t cheap, so make sure you savor every second of it before moving on to your next snack!
6. Pretzels

This combination is so simple, but it tastes amazing.

Here’s how you can make your own!
- First, get yourself some tuna fish—you’ll need about two cans for this recipe.
- Then grab your favorite kind of pretzel (I’m partial to the salt-and-vinegar kind), and open up one can of tuna fish.
- Next comes the fun part: mix them together! Pour out half of each can into a bowl or paper plate and mix until they’re evenly blended together—you want there to be no visible dividing line between the two flavors!
If you have any leftovers (and let’s be honest—you will), store them in an airtight container in your fridge and enjoy them later as a snack or side dish for lunch or dinner.
7. Potato Chips (plain)

I’ve always loved potato chips, but lately I’ve been mixing them up with tuna.
Tuna is a great source of protein, but it can be hard to eat with your hands.
That’s when I discovered the perfect combination: potato chips!
They’re salty and crunchy, and they help you get every last bit of tuna out of the can.
Here’s how I do it:
- Open a can of tuna, drain off any excess liquid (but don’t worry about getting it all), and mix in a little mayo or lemon juice if you like that kind of thing
- Grab a handful of potato chips (I like BBQ flavored) and drop them into the can with the tuna—don’t worry if they stick together, we’ll fix that later
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the entire can is full of delicious chip-tuna goodness.
8. Nacho Cheese Doritos
I’m a big fan of eating nacho cheese Doritos with tuna.
It’s not a combination that everyone likes, but I think it tastes amazing.
The two foods have complementary flavors, and the saltiness in both the chips and the tuna is a great foil for each other.
I also love how crunchy nacho cheese Doritos are—they make the tuna seem even more satisfyingly filling!
The only tricky thing about eating this combination is that you have to be very careful not to spill any of your nacho cheese Doritos on your hands when taking bites of tuna.
It’s easier if you eat them separately, but if you’re feeling bold and want to try it all at once, just remember: eat fast!
