Very good! but the heat is a bit overpowering- maybe half the cayenne next time. This recipe makes a LOT. Also might be useful to use solid tuna, as the texture will be less mushy. Thanks for sharing!

Very good! Because of lack of some things I used Mayonnaise, and cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs and coated in Panko before frying. Delicious!

I love this recipe I did however tweak it a lil. Instead of doing the miracle whip used mayo. Omitted the tabasco and the red curry and used fresh jalapenos instead. And i rolled the patties in more bread crumbs since I had corn starch not meal and they came out delicious. my husband said that this is a keeper.
