    What a wonderful thing to do to tuna! I left out the jalapenos and walnuts (didn't have any) and was low on cilantro so used half fresh half dried. Here in Malta, the sauce ingredients aren't really available, so I improvised with some mayo mixed with Mexican Seasoning (from the States) and it worked nicely. Even just plain tartar sauce would be fine, since the cakes have so much flavor! Served with sweet potato fries and mixed veg. for an easy dinner. Thanks so much!

Despite quite a few ingredients, these are simple, fast and easy, Great for a quality unique appetizer!, What a wonderful thing to do to tuna!

Served with sweet potato fries and mixed veg for an easy dinner Thanks so much!, We loved these tuna cakes Great flavor and easy to do used fresh chives but otherwise followed the recipe I may cut the sauce in half as we had lots left I served with coleslaw and was a great meal We will definitely have this many times in the future
