Tried this recipe and it turned out great! The tuna cakes were flavorful and had a nice crispy crust. I served them with tartar sauce and a side of salad and it was a perfect meal.

I made these tuna cakes for my family last night and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the fact that they were so easy to make. I will definitely be making these again soon.

These tuna cakes were absolutely delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The tuna was flaky and moist, the bread crumbs added a nice crispy crust, and the spices gave it a perfect kick. I will definitely be making these again.
